Which one sounds better? At end, it might be a personal preference as well.



After reading your valuable input, reading the reviews and the forums, I think I am going to go with 800D1 for the following 2 reasons.
1. I can purchase a brand new pair of 802D2 from a local dealer any time I want. However, a used pair of 800D1 in mint condition is not so easy to find.
2. Big saving on the used 800D1 compare to the new price at the time. It's like buying a used BMW 7 series or Mercedes-Benz S Class. A better buy.
Good decision!
Good luck with them!
