Yes...both the 802D & 803D will sound better because they're 3 way, the 805D is only a 2 way. The 802D and 803D will have better mid bass and lower bass than the 805D but they're very inefficient Speaker's requiring high current and high wattage type of Amp in order to drive them fully. By going with a 2 way type of bookshelf speakers, its highly recommended that you add a subwoofer to give you the mid bass and lower bass that your lacking vs the floorstanding.... just suggesting alternative....I have demo's many type of floorstanding, electrostatic, and bookshelf speakers and finally deciding with the bookshelf speakers with the sub. I have also noticed owners of 802's adding a sub to their system..I like the sound of the 802, and was at one point of thinking of purchasing them but I realized it would be an overkill in my tiny space.
