Honestly I found the CM10 to be pretty close to the 804d3 when I listened to them at Magnolia with both Mcintosh and Rotel equipment. The 804d3 had slightly fuller midrange and a slight advantage at the upper end. Cm10 sounded to have fuller bass and had a bigger soundstage (that may have been due to positioning though as the CM10 were further apart than the 804d3). For the money I would pick the CM10 as I think it represents an outstanding value at its price point, the 804d3 sounded great as well but at that price point I found the Focal 1028/1038 be sound significantly better. The 803d3 sounded much better than either, but the price point is also much higher.
If the new 700 series has the continuum woofer, and the price stays below $5000 I think it will end up being a great value and I would strongly consider that over that the Focal 1028 be I am leaning towards not.
