Regret, not necessarily, but the 802's are better so is the crossover, something more important.

Are the casters on the 802D3 wood floor friendly? I realize the spikes require the discs for wood floors, but are the wheels soft enough for wood floors just to move them into position?

Hi,
I have hardwood floors and the 802D3 on casters are easy to move around without leaving any marks.

Best.

Take the 802. I first had 803...and now have 802. Very worth the difference!

Were you using subs with the 803D3’s?

No subs. But the difference is not in the bass only. The soundstage is quite larger on the 802.
