Ended up with buying a pair of white 802D3 as my room is a bit too small for the big bass of the 800. And the extra 8 grands are also too serious for my bank account...
Together with my Nubert NuPower A (german manufacturer, very underestimated and way too cheap for what they do) it sounds very clear and powerful and i'm very happy with that decision. 
Also bought a DB2D-Sub. Wow!
Before i had the wonderful N802 in cherry for 17 years. What an upgrade! |
The 800D3 is clearer in the mids and upper, less distortion from the bass module upwards. I noticed that too on side by side a/b comparison.
