Over the last couple of years I've upgraded my electroncis (CD player and amp) and cables and found that my B&W 804N remarkably improved in sound with the upgrades. This indicated to me the B&W 804 are quite a refined and transparent speaker and require quality electronics and cabling to sound its best. I would think the B&W802 would be the same.
