        Of all the wonderful "out of the box" experiences we have all had with audio components, the "speaker out of the box" experience has got to be the holy grail of them all.

                Nope. Those are the original 2. I did get another for the center but I am still using the 804S for surround.

                    801D or new 800 Diamond?
                    by Antonkk
                    Hi everyone! It's been a while. I parted with my 802Ds half a year ago, since my Mac 6900 never did them any justice and they never got to sing in my system. Since then I uprgaded my electronics to all top of the line Electrocompaniet system - EMC-1 UP Cd player, 4.8 pre and NEMO monoblocks but instead...

                    B&W 800 Diamond reviewed at German site audio.de
                    by ShadowZA
                    It is interesting to note that the 800 Diamond was awarded 104 points. It's predecessor, the 800D, was awarded 101 points when it was reviewed at this same site in May 2005.

                    This is how their point system of grading is applied:

                    REFERENCE CATEGORY 101 points and above (superior)...

                    800 Diamond Series Naming Convention
                    by RebelMan
                    Reading some posts involving the old and new 800 Series where the diamond tweeter is concerned can be a bit confusing at times. For instance the new 805 Diamond has been labeled everything from 805D, 805Di to 805D2. According to B&W they are referencing the new series as the D2 series for short....

                    800 Diamond series
                    by mpauline
                    I am looking to purchase some used speakers. I am a little confused about when the different 800 diamond series were released. I am looking at some 7 month old 804D and some 803D that are three years old. The 803D's are $500 more than the 804D's. Was there an upgrade to the Diamond series or were...
