Terry,
They had 803s playing with some Classe equipment in the open area to the left of the front counter, but the 802s were the show. We did not make it in to the room where they demo'ed an HT setup based on Classe electronics, but I don't know what model speakers they featured. They didn't have 800s yet; don't know why.

Just ordered my 802 Diamond in gloss blk. Tke about 20 business days. I just sold my Focal Alto Be's several months ago. I was going to get the Focal Scala's, but for all around value, you cannot beat B&W. Plus, I like alittle more bass.

Good choice! From my brief time listening to the newer Series Diamond, they sounded better than my 802d's, and I thought those were the best bang for the buck speakers out there.
