The pictures from the hiendy club forum were removed per request of B&W Asia (Honk Kong Hi Fi Forum)
However, you can still find the pictures in google cache





One of the forum member over there confirmed this is the new 800 series and claim that the tweeter and marlan head are different than the current 800 series and kevlar is gone, replaced by metal woofer

If you look at the 1st picture, the middle speaker which they say is the new 803, you can tell the shape of the curtain hanging from the tweeter down does suggest it is covering a round object (compare to the 2 other speakers which should be 805 on stands and 804, the curtain hanging from tweeter down to the cabinet is indeed more flat)

If the 803 comes with the marlin head, it has to be shorter than the current model or else it will look out of portion? The picture indicates it is shorter when you compare to the next speaker on right (assuming 802).
