Thanks! I never heard the 800 Diamond, but since I owned several products in the B&W (Diamond and non-diamond) lineup, am very familiar with their strengths and weaknesses, and I know for a fact that the 800 uses the same tweeter and midrange as the 802, I decided to change it up completely. I personally feel that the Sasha is in another league, but I still would never say anything bad about the Diamond series. I think they are all a great value across the board. The Sasha can just do things I feel the others can't. It's got incredible microdynamics, detail, depth, bass that other speakers in that size can only dream about. And it's made in the US, which I really prefer. When I visited the fine folks at Wilson's facility, that sealed the deal for me. A CEO that takes 20 minutes out of his day randomly (not scheduled at all) to talk to a potential customer about audio in general WITHOUT pushing his product?...well that is just downright impressive. The product pushes itself.
