Default Cross over differences between 800/802/803D3

I knew there were differences in the cross over between the 800 and 802 but did not realize there was also a difference between the 802 and 803.

I saw some photos on line that showed the different cross overs and you could clearly see the component differences between all three in terms of size and numbers of Mundorf capacitors used.

I went to the B&W parts website and looked up the part numbers for the cross overs and price and there is less than $100 difference between the 800 and 802 but over a $400 difference between the 802 and 803.

My question to Patrick is how much of an effect does this have (other than the drivers) on the improvement on sound quality between the three.

I am sure they are voiced to get the best out of the drivers in each speaker based on the space available on the aluminum mounting assembly.
