Are the B&W N800 that good?

Are the N800 that good to be double the price of the N802 and $5k more than the N801?
I am thinking in replacing my 801 Matrix S3. I like the sounf of the N802 but I will miss the bass of the my 801 and I am not sure about going to the N801 becuase of their size and also having a 15" woofer I am not sure how fast and contol thier bass could be.
The N800 have a dual 10" which I think should produce a good bass keeping the clarity and transparency of the Nautilius mid range and tweeter.

Any opinions?

You may want to wait a few weeks. B&W coming out with a new line.

Best,

Despite the size, the N801 woofer is VERY fast.

Yes, I am a true believer that the 800s are 'that much better' than the 802/801s. Now, that being said, are they worth $5K more? That is completely subjective where much depends on the depth of one's pocketbook, not to mention amps, power coming from the wall, room, ears, and knowledge to hear the difference. I don't claim any of the above to be perfect at my house, but I feel they are worth the extra $5K!
