Actually there are several reasons not to get the 803D2 that have nothing to do with budget. I can list an easy three. 1.) Stature: The 803D2s are physically imposing, visually more so than even the stoutly 802D2s. 2.) Dispersion: No reclining allowed and you better not slouch. The FST does not favor the tubeless designs nearly as much. 3.) Bass: I'm largely opposed to it BUT coupled with a decent subwoofer the combination will decimate the 803D2s. But you better know what you are doing when integrating one. I've spent a lot of time experimenting with the 803Ds and they are easily the most difficult speaker in the entire lineup to get dialed in. They can sound great once you get there but many installers are unlikely to go the distance.
