When’s the D4 coming?

I would go for the 802D4. At least that is my plan for the time being.

My head (and wallet) says 802D3 but my heart says D4, so I'll decide when a D4 audition is possible even though the deal on the D3 will probably be long expired by then. And if there are deals to be had on 800D3 it will be interesting to compare 802D4 with 800D3. I'm aware of room compatibility issues with 800D3's but I've also heard them sounding 'sublime'.

And this is still an example of fraud in order to deceive Customs. I am confident Customs are aware of these tricks.

Hi folks,
Can we keep this on subject as the poster started?

Thanks!

Yes indeed. My apologies for the off topic chat. Living overseas makes acquiring these wonderful speakers a challenge. Surmountable but a challenge.

Jealous of the 802 choice, need a bigger space than I have. I am all in on a pair of 804s though. Cannot wait!

We can close this thread now… we know when the D4 is coming :-)

…there haven’t been mention of new DB Subwoofers yet?

Anyone want to create a new thread? Maybe What’s new with D4’s and/or listening experience?

Listen to your heart Art! You have waited too long not to get the D4, as have I (rocking the D2 for 9 years!). For me the D4 addresses everything I did not like about the D3. Even the speaker grills are soooo much better (not that I use them, just saying their eye for detail has improved significantly across the new series).

I'm debating between the 803D4 and the 802D4. Theoretically, the midrange on up could be a better on the 803, depending on how well the reworked crossovers are. However, the 802 overall will be better balanced. The 803 is domestically more suitable for my application so it's mostly going to come down to price. But if I can get a better deal on the 802 then that's the direction I'll go even with it's bigger footprint.

Yes, you're right, if I went for less I'd only live to regret. My D2's just turned 8 too so I'm overdue.

When it's completed my room will be 25 x 18 x 10 (Ft), so the 802 should fill the space perfectly.
