Quick review of the new 802 D4:
- after break in, gone is the top down presentation of the D3. MUCH more of a balanced approach. Not sure if it’s the retuning of the crossover or the longer tweeter tube or both….but MUCH more to my liking now. No bite.
- bass is greatly improved, tighter and far far far more impact.
- the cabinet seems bigger, fatter, but I haven’t compared to an 802D3
- the speaker is very very well balanced top to bottom. Neutral, balanced, but extremely musical.
- midrange is very good, big and palatable.
- they work superbly with Nordost, which frankly, would have been my opposite guess, thought it might be too much of a good thing, but it’s truly not.
- the better the electronics and cables, the better they perform.

Your characterization of the 802-D3s was what I recall from some years ago at a dealer with a sub-optimal setup. I wanted to buy but couldn't based on what I heard. The new ones sound promising.
