I did hear them versus 800Di's at Len's once and very much liked the mids and treble, but the bass was a bit soft and not as well defined as it was with the B&W's. Bear in mind that was vs 800Di's, not 802Di's. Also, maybe Len's room at play but the B&W's produced a much better defined sound stage. Fwiw, all the love seems to be with the 802D3 these days, but you can get the 802Di's sounding very similar if you spend some time getting them in the optimum position and with rake and toe-in optimised. The centre axes should cross just behind the listening position, and a bit of forward rake is needed if your ear height isn't on or just below tweeter axis. Fwiw, I have 800Di's and they sound fantastic with a big amp, and same applies to the 802Di's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
