Room Size and B&W Speakers

[Patrick Butler]

Both 802 and 803 feature our FST midrange (something the 805 lacks.) As a technology, FST reduces distortion in the midrange which results in noticeably clearer presentation from sounds such as vocals and guitars.

Then you've got the topic of bass. 802 and 803 Rohacell woofers run from the very lowest frequencies up to roughly 350Hz. So while a sub might give you more power and extension at the very lowest frequencies, you still have 100-350Hz to content with. 802 and 803 both to a better job in that region than 805, or a subwoofer for that matter.
