I also had some issues with lack of low end from the 802s...added a REL #25 and it greatly improved all frequencies and helped bring a "fuller" and less bright sound to the B&Ws.
I will also add I have B&W 802d3’s with dual Jl Audio F 113 subs. To me, with the subs, the music is balanced, full, clear, and lively. I really feel like I am sitting in front of the artist.
