    Marcin, thank for the link w all the pics! I think the deign is a real improvement over the last version which was getting long in the tooth.

    i had the 802 Diamonds two years ago. They were my reintroduction to the high end.

    Based number of units produced, what other high end speaker manufacturer has come close to B&W? They are a marketing marvel.

    Do they sound colorful and boomy like the 803D's?
