Which speaker for room size?
Hi All,
For a room size of 8 m long x 5 m wide and about 2.8 m high, would 802D3 be more appropriate than a 803D3? Does it need a sub then? Can it get away with a 803D3 with a sub? I listen to it about 3 - 4 m away from the speakers and it is solid timber flooring with a rug in front of the speakers. Speakers are quite spaced out from the side walls. Thanks. |

802d3 would give you more control of the overall sound and should work fine in your room.

it depends on speaker placement, you can add a sub later if you are not happy. the d3 series sounds different from the d2, i switched models, so be warned, the sound is different and if you listened to d3 series and you liked it, don't expect the same from the d2 series. |

I like the gloss black finish and design of the d3s better. |

What is your budget?
I'd rather have a used pair of B&W 800's perhaps a d2 in your space. I've always felt the 802's probably need a good sub, but in a small space the 800's can more easily stand alone. You see examples of the 800's in even smaller spaces in a studio setting doing a fine job.

I wonder how much 800d2s will be 2nd hand. Also, the size..wifey probably will object. Is it better sounding than the 802d3s? Good suggestion though. Food for thought. |

You don't limit her hobbies do you? Really, just how much more space does the model you want take up? I'm positive all your furniture will still be in the same place. |
