I have been fortunate enough to have spent a little bit of time with a friends relatively new (200hrs) 800 D3 this past week, and can only say I have had trouble sleeping, working out how I can get a pair into my system. They have proved to be a real revelation compared to my previous experiences with the top end Bowers & Wilkins speakers. Effortless and utterly clean extension to both high and low end, with the new mid cone proving to be very effective in comparison to the kevlar cone that made B&W so distinctive. I can envisage the 800 or the 802 becoming a part of the family in the future
