B&W 'New' 800 Series


I've reviewed the TAS Factory Tour and the 802 D3 details and am impressed with all improvements; and the common sense used.
I also find the new styling very intelligent related to dispersion. Comments?

The most 3 dimensional system I have ever heard was with a pair of Classe monoblocks and a set of B&W 801's.  Bo says they both lack.  Something's wrong here... 
First of all Classe can create a deep and wide stage. But brands like Pass Labs are able to create more stage depth and width.

The crossovers of the 801N and 801D were not that great. There are different brands in that price range who create more stage depth and width.

I am still curious about the thoughts of the new 800D3 series. 

What I said earlier, the individual focus was not that convincing. They use extreme toe-in. Here is a picture of a demo with  Ken Ishiwata. When you use so much toe-in, all depth is gone.

  Classe it not bad, in our world it lacks quality as well. B&W is owner of Classe. On political choices it is used. This I can understand. It is still by far not the best student of the class. So does it add something in the world of audio? We don’t think so.
Bo, you stated this on 11-30.   Then you post the above comment.  Which is it?  If they lack quality, there wouldn't be a deep and wide stage.


I heard the 802 D3 speakers last week at the dealer here in town.  They sounded great!
