    The extra power does come in handy when I get the urge to really crank it up which happens every time my wife leaves the house .

      I've changed my B&W 802 D2 for a B&W 800 D2 one year ago, so the burn-in period were totally fullfilled (like I did with the 802 D2). My electronics, cables, listening room and speaker position are exactly the same. The room is 13 by 20 feet. The speakers are approximately 1.6 feet from the walls and around 8 feet apart each other, and 8 feet away from the listening position. I just changed the speakers, from 802D2 to 800D2, nothing else, . Bass is much better with the 800 D2, but midrange and high frequencies were better with the 802 D2. They were cleaner and softer. I think the 800D2 need a larger room ...

        by Joey_V
        So I'm looking into getting into the club. I've heard my fair share of speakers and although I have to seriously audition the Sophia 3, Sasha 2, and the Alexias from Wilson - I am looking like I enjoy the sound coming out of the 802 Diamond and the 800 Diamond.

        should I upgrade to the 802 or 800's?
        by msm
        I currently have the 803D and really like them for their size and look, but I have the opportunity to upgrade them to either the 802D or the 800D.

        I have always liked the 802's except for the look and the 800's except for the fact that they will need mono blocks over a CA-5200. ...

        Anyone who has read my thread from a few weeks ago will remember me asking if anyone had Sound Anchor stands for the N802's and what their impressions were. Unfortunately, no one who read my thread had this set up as no one responded. So I went a head and purchased them blindly. Not my usual style as...

        802 vs 802d
        by beden1
        I have the opportunity to purchase a used pair of 802's, and had recently been focusing on getting a pair of 802Ds that I had been auditioning in a B&W dealer store. I have not heard the 802s to compare.

        I really like the 802Ds as the highs and mids sound very articulate to me, and...
