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.

"I propose a third answer - neither. The measurements on both these speakers are fortunately published in Stereophile and they are not at all world class for such an expensive speaker. Basically a boosted treble and boosted bass with a mid range suckout.

Wilson Sasha is much better."


I totally agree

I'm not a fan of modern B&W, but the OP has a right to make him/herself happy as can be.

If that's the sound you like, go for it.

Best,
