800D3 related: Does this mean I have the best wife in the world?
 
Came home yesterday and I found this cake waiting for me, the little family had a HARPRISE birthday party for me....

... honestly I had to fight back the tears. To think my wife went through looking through my magazines, got the EXACT model # right, and went to a bakeshop to have them make it. Oh man.... she really loves this goofball.

(Harprise = surprise, that's how my 3y old Emma says it).

And man, do I love my wife. :yes:

She was SO excited to finally reveal the cake... I was so happy.

Enjoy BW fans.

Joey... Outstanding; you are a Lucky Guy! :)

joey_v 05-24-2017 11:53 AM

Thanks for the kind words guys. I am not worthy of my wife, she is the best.

The cake was so cool, I really tried to cut around the 800D3.

richardallred 05-24-2017 12:03 PM

Very lucky indeed!

jdandy 05-24-2017 12:18 PM

Joey.......Yes you are worthy of your wife. That's why she loves you so much. Your post made me smile.

Now, lets get those 800D3's hooked up and making music.

GregGale 05-24-2017 12:31 PM

So when will they be hooked up?
 
Will they go in the same spot at the 802D3?

Yes, but will probably have to tweak over the next few months to get it perfectly positioned.

tjarmstrong 05-24-2017 06:11 PM

Joey, That's awesome. I'm going to forward this off to my wife asap ... :)
Not sure if I could eat the cake... but I probably would.

vintage_tube 05-24-2017 07:22 PM

That's just love Joey. Great for the two of you. Now, the $64K question -- what amp are you going to buy her on her birthday?:scratch2:

Super story.:thumbsup:

I am surprised no one mentioned she even got the RIGHT black gloss color [emoji51]

Congrats man.

Both for the cake and the missus.

And happy [emoji322] birthday

80B 05-24-2017 10:18 PM

Happy birthday & congrats on finding the right girl! Now, will she fight you over the sweet spot when listening to those babies? :D

This is better than the best hifi system in the world. :thumbsup::D

Weirdcuba 05-25-2017 10:45 AM

That's pretty much as good as it gets. Congrats.

Sharp 1080 05-25-2017 11:16 AM

What a thoughtful and wonderful wife. She obviously loves you by the gift! Enjoy the new speakers and happy atmosphere at home.

... or a husband and wife could co-exist in the same sweet spot - although it may delay the start of the entertainment.

You don't have to worry about occupying the same sweet spot as with the 800D3 series the sweet spot is wide so multiple people can enjoy unless you like occupying the same space.:club:

JMT350Z 05-26-2017 12:05 AM

Wow, amazing cake, amazing speakers, amazing wife and family!![emoji106]

joey_v 05-26-2017 04:21 AM

Thanks fellas!

Audio 1 05-26-2017 01:37 PM

BTW Joey we would love to see pictures of the 800 D3's when you get them in place!!

King 05-26-2017 05:43 PM

wow special home made birthday cake, that is worth more than the speaker, congratulations joey!!!

gadawg 05-26-2017 07:58 PM

Best birthday cake ever!!! You are a lucky man!!!

wonderboy 05-27-2017 04:10 AM

Yes, you have the best wife!!!

ariess 05-31-2017 04:02 PM

800D3's?
 
Wasn't Joey supposed to get his 800D3's yesterday?
Did they arrive? Pictures? Impressions? (Better than the cake versions?)

Late to the party.
Congrats Joey!
On the birthday, on the speakers, but especially on the Missus.

BTW, have you installed them already?

woodlander 05-31-2017 09:34 PM

Does she have a sister?

audioguy3107 05-31-2017 09:42 PM

My wife's birthday was today........maybe I should've gotten her a pair of 800D3s.....wonder how that would've gone? :scratch2:

Art Vandelay 06-01-2017 02:43 AM

Well why not. According to Marilyn Monroe, diamonds are a girl's best friend.

And now thanks to B&W, they're a man's best friend too.

joey_v 06-01-2017 02:12 PM

Yes they have arrived safe and sound, they took away my 802d3 as well.

First impressions are they sound raw and bassy compared to my highly tweaked and near perfect 802d3 based set up. I am working on getting positioning and treatments

But one things for sure, it did NOT work well when placed on my old 802d3 spot
