Maybe it's as you say due to the proximity of the woofers to the floor. The pair of higher mounted woofers on the 802D3 might avoid an early floor reflection in the upper bass / lower mids. (Noting that a pair of woofers does also make the primary lobe half as broad in the vertical plane, which is also a good thing) This alone could explain why the 802D3's (and 803D3's) are better for smaller rooms and / or listening at closer distances, if indeed that is found to be the case.
