Default 800d3 now out on website!
800d3 is now out, officially on the BW website! Not much heavier than the 802d3 which is a little odd... But the drivers are humongous looking in the reverse cabinet.

Looking good, wonder how it sounds.

Looks ugly compared to the 802. Those 10-inch drivers simply look out of proportion to the cabinet. I also think the 802 will sound more balanced in the average room. It's a bit disappointing that nothing new was attempted with the 800. It is simply a bigger speaker with huge drivers.

I believe it's 30k, could be a little off.

It is.

And no discounts for now so it is a true 30.

I meant that my information might be a little off, though I seem to remember the reps said "about 30" when I heard them.
