805Di + DB1 or 803Di

[Freddie40]

I own 802Dis so I am not thinking of doing anything, but I have talked to a few friends about this choice. So here is my question. If you had a budget of $10k would you get the 803Di, or would you rather have the 805Di + the DB1 for $500 less? I feel that the latter combo would go do much further, offer more flexibility in sound (crossover + volume of bass) would be more room friendly and may have a higher WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor). What do you think?

I think that if you want this for Ht performance instead of music will be a good choice but for music the 803Di is better speakers and It will be shining. the midrage driver is a huge advantage.

Both options would be killer setups! I agree with leo2498. For music, 803Di will be more majestic. Also depends on your listening space and habits. I hardly run the DB1 when listening to my 802Di.
