804d3 + awesome sub vs 802d3 for tv/movies?
I’ve had a pair of 804d3 for a few years and currently have it paired with an HTM1d3 and JL Audio F212v2. However, lately I’ve been thinking about selling my 804 for 802. Is the 5-figure jump to the 802d3 still worth it with such a great sub if 80% of my use is home theater anyway?
Also, are the d4 models coming out soon? The d3 have been out for about 5 years... |

Currently have 802n, and Paradigm Sub 2. Looking at moving to 800 D3’s or 802 D3’s. Will I need the sub anymore, not sure. Will need to demo in my house and see. The Sub 2 is so powerful at the low end which is great for movies. Last edited by hdvidguy; 05-25-2020 at 07:41 PM. |

Did you make the move to D3s? After 15+ years with my N802's I'm thinking about the 802 D3s. Worthy upgrade or expensive tweak?

I still have my 802N’s. I’ve heard the 800’s a few times with the same source songs from Tidal and very similar front end as mine. I wish I never listened to the 800’s. They are that good!

The 802D3 are a very very nice speaker. I enjoy the sound tremendously!
