It definitely could be the 800D3, but the only thing that I am leary of is the new bass drivers have deeper/steeper membranes. It also looks like a digitally reproduces image.

I am almost certain it is not a digital rendering. Here is a link from the offical photoshoot where you will see the same speaker: http://blog.bowers-wilkins.com/speak...o-photography/
It is in front of our eyes since the launch

Hi 2fastdriving,

I don't have any photography for the 800D3. The Turbine head and midrange are the same size as 802D3, with an increase in size for the bass section of the cabinet. I have seen a sample in person, and it looked great. Sleek and muscular.

I thought midrange was 7" not the 6" in the 802d3?

Does it still have the same plinth on the bottom as the 802 or is it different like on th 800d2?

Hi joey_v,

Like the 800D2, the 800D3 also shares the same midrange driver as the 802. The plinth will look just like the 802D3 plinth, only scaled up for the larger cabinet.

Me too. I've made the past 3 Music Matters, and it's always a fun evening.

Looking forward to hearing the 800, and I'm also intrigued about the Classe Sigma Integrated (I own the SSP and AMP5 for my setup).
