B&W 802 Matrix Series 1 Sound

Hello
I've been reading about B&W speakers for years, but have never owned any....currently I have AR9's, RTA15TLs, Vandy 2 & 3's, among other lessor models...

What do you think the 802 Matrix Series 1 would sound like comparably ? The pair I'm considering a hike away...just trying to get some feel for what to expect. Should I think they'll be similar to the 15TL's ?

That's a great idea but I try to buy local if at all possible...no more dealing with damaged stuff...

I have the Matrix 802 s3 and love them. Im in the process of upgrading the caps in the crossovers. Hoping to get better transparency and dynamics with a broader soundstage. Ill update when they're back and broken in. But not too many speakers impress me with that wow factor. These do. If you have the right associated equipment they are really incredible.
