Any feedback on the new B&W 802D's

I have auditioned the new B&W 802D's in my listening room and I am looking for feedback from anyone who might have heard them or read reviews. I also plan on listening to the Wilson Sophia's soon. My set up includes Conrad Johnson 16LS pre-amp, Premier 8 monoblocks and Wadia 860x cd player.

Second hand Ive heard a friend is quite pleased and the diamond tweeter is the real deal.

Maybe some of this feedback could be born out of your own observations? You have an impressive system! I cant help thinking you have some observations.

Seems to me like the midrange has "gone away" in the new line. More top and more bottom, less music.

Having spent a little time with the 803D and 802D, I did not hear it the way Ez2hear did. The diamond tweeter is very smooth and very nice, the new Rohacell bass drivers give a nice tight bass and the speakers were seemless top to bottom, once they got some hours on them; I greatly enjoyed listening to both.
