Have listened to the 800D3 in showrooms and have owned both 802D3's and the older 802D2's.

Both the 800 and 802's are great speakers for the price. They checkmark just about everything one would want again at a great price point.

Ultimately for me, the Diamond tweeter was too bright and fatiguing at times compared to the Berrylium tweeters of Focal and Magico for instance.

The midrange for me is also more precise on the Focal's and Magico's I have heard compared to the B&W's

Ultimately the choice always comes down to your preference of sound/image and of course price point.
