Those look small compared to those you get with the 802D's. Requries two boxes and they are heavy.

I thought he was talking about the original 803s which are about 60lbs a piece.

That is real easy to do as those WATTS/PUPPIES are mesmerizing to look at.

Instead of the spikes for the speakers has anyone tried the Rollerblocks? I am considering swapping my spikes for them

Cheers

After positioning the new 804D, supplied spikes were then installed and the sound difference was very significant to the point of crucially important, being muddled without. Feedback resonances not good.
This was on a carpeted concrete floor.

With a pair of older UK manufactured Mission 753 uprights I recall it sounded far better tonally sitting on a wood/carpet interface rather than mounted up on supplied spikes.
