Midrange magnet and crossover changes were originally introduced in the 800 model. Comparing to the 802, there were some improvements (of which the most noticeable was better bass definition). The marketing stuff on the new D series refers to stiffening of the 800 midrange chassis (and its carried to all models as well). I couldnt find any midrange differences in my listening session of the 802D. They were very much in the same mould or character as the 800.
Looking back at my experience over this midrange is one of fatigue. It tends to creep up on you rather slowly but enough to make you stop. I thought this was the result of bad CDP performance and started looking to upgrade changing the speakers was the answer.
