B&W 801D or 802Ds


Basically, I would like your impressions of both of these speakers. I have gone out and heard them, but not side by side, and either one would be a most excellent choice. However, I would like to know from owners of these speakers what are the strengths and weaknesses of the 2.

I do prefer the big woofers of the 801D, but the 802D might have tighter bass. Also, I've looked for the 801Ds and I haven't found them anywhere on the used market. Not even here on Audiogon this summer.

Thanks for your time. Looking forward to the discussion.

Ok, cool. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Sounds like a great setup. Yes, you've helped.
I am sure you will be amazed with 802D. As the friend said with great eletronic and cable they will sound excellent. I would also try Siltech cables, and Krell for the amps. Matching with a good tube pre you´ll be in heaven :)
No, I haven't found a pair of 801Ds. There's some 802Ds here and on Ebay, but I'm a little short at the moment.
Ok, cool. Siltech is indeed top notch. And new or old Krell?

Not into tubes, sorry.
