I am negotiating the purchase of one of these two speakers. I was hoping someone has an informed opinon about the camparison. I have listened to the 803D and loved the sound. I'm not sure if the 801N are better.
I own a pair of the N801's and they are an entirely different speaker than the 803. The question is more one of room size than diamond vs. non-diamond. If you room is 16x21 or larger the N801 will work fine if not go for the 803.
Go to the Abbey Road recording Studio Website. Are they using 803's? That should answer your question. They can afford whatever they wish. Are the N801D better than the N801S sure. But the N801 are far superior to the 803D's given enough space and good enough electronics.
