Difference between B&W 800N/SIG and B&W800D

I think that 802D bass observation is dependant on the room and positioning and I have experienced that it can be corrected. The big advantage of the 800D over the N800Sig is in the new technology for the tweeter and woofers as well as the attendant crossover improvements. If you liked the highs on the 802D, you will like them on the 800D.

Hi, I cannot attest to the 800 series but I do currently have the 802d and I agree with your assessment of the bass. I love the midrange and highs but the bass sounds loose and boomy to me. I am considering moving on to a different speaker. That being, I still do love my 802D and I have friends with the 800d that are also in love. May I suggest that you visit the BW user forum on HT Guide and ask your question there. No doubt you will get a lot of answers. http://htguide.com/forum/forumdisplay.php4?f=22

Hope this helps.

I had the 802N's for more than 6 years. I heard the 802D, but I didn't like the low freq. In the januari I heard the 800N and I was convinced to buy this one over the 802D. But I still haven't had the change to listen to the latest 800D. I read some articles about it, but I am more interessted in the experience of people here at audiogon.

The older 800Sig outstrips the 800D in every aspect of playback.The truth is that the audio press does not have the guts to say so.I have heard both these loudspeakers, and can say that the 800Sig is an all time great loudspeaker design while the 800D is a sorry marketing stunt.All those reviewers who go gaga over the B&W diamond tweeter should go hear the Avalon Eidolon diamond, that should clean up their ears a bit.
