I run a set of Giya G1 spirits in 24 x 18 room , tons of space to spare for those huge speakers or any other
in a big room , you have the space and leeway to position your listening chair out of any bass peaks or suckouts

At 8' you may be faced with the issue of time alignment. The first-order crossover would be indicative of this and you might be able to rake the speaker to compensate. Regardless this plagues both the 800D3 and the 802D3 in equal aplomb. However, your chief complaint was bass. Unfortunately, no bass trap on the planet will control the low (lowest) frequencies. It's been a while since I have seen any photos of your room but if I recall you were running wall to wall carpeting, no? What you need to do is dissipate that energy into hard surfaces, chief among them would be your floor. Whether you agree or not doesn't change the fact, room size matters little. |

So does Kal. .
We are simply standing on opposing ends of the same bridge. Kal states that... Quote:

Kal further states that the energy released by the size of the driver is inconsequential which again buttresses the statement that I made regarding driver sizes. The posts in this thread could lead the reader to conclude that a large speaker requires a large room to perform well which just is not true and that is the point I wanted to make clear. |

What I am trying to say is that a large room would afford more options in positioning a speaker to optimize it's sound. It's not that the 800d3 sounded bad in my room, it's that I preferred the sound of the 802d3 as it excited certain nodes less and had a less in your face sound that the 800d3 managed to produce as it was cleaner from the low midrange and up.
The 800d3 and 802d3 are not merely same speakers plus the bass... That's a misconception. Thus they are not to be positioned in the same spot as each other in a room. That's the misunderstanding here. I'm the one who had both speakers in the same room, I'm the one who had the 802d3 for a year prior to the 800d3. |

Understood, but my comments were not placed in a general forum. Besides, I am not a fan nor are most people as they (planars, stats, etc.) makeup the minority.

A couple of us have tried 800D3 as an upgrade to 802D3 and were not able to control the balance and bass. Anyone with 800D3 that experienced an upgrade ?
