802d or 800d


Hi I have the chance of owning either of these speakers for the same money.Is there much difference in performance.I do like the look of the 802ds but they look a bit laterally unstable so may go for the slightly bigger 800ds.My room size is 28 feet by 16 feet.Using vdh fevelation hybrid chord 1200e qbd76 blu transport.Will probably upgrade to a more powerful chord amp soon though.

@tatyana69  Thanks so much for your comments.... Have you had a chance to listen to the current production Proac K6&8 vs D3 800? You don't have you system listed so I wonder what amps & cables are you using to a ameliorate the diamond twitter's slight over the top spiciness? (althou I ve yet to hear the D3 800, and only heard the 802D3 with mediocre Macintosh & Classe amplification, as none of the dealers in NY area have the D3 on demo with "proper" amps of my liking). Any comments on the D3 800s soundstage depth & height and in general... Thanks so much !
Using 803D2 in a room 15X23X8ft and they sound fabulous. Me thinks the 800s may be a little much. The 803s are just right for my room size at any listening levels
There is no tweeter issue on the d3s - the d2 tweeter issue has been fully addressed.
It appears that people who bough the new 802d3s are so pleased that they are swapping them in quickly for the 800d3s as the price differential  VERY favourable as some distinct improvements apparently exist in the 800 and not the 802s - hence my own decision to go straight for the 800s. My room is only around 13 ft c 16 ft and they are not too big for me.
