anyone had a listen to the b w 803d's

they are great speakers , i have owned them, they are good with rotel, big power, low pricing, but the mid with them is mucical fidelity and the best is audio research...

Lots of competition at that price point.

Take a look at Vandersteen, Von Schweikert, Verity, Focal, Revel, Eggleston, Piega, etc.

All are much better values at every B&W price point which is basically a dinosaur living off a reputation IMO.

I have no financial interest in any product mentioned.

There might be better values, but the 803D's are nice speakers. I liked them the few times I heard them. The 802D I thought was going to be incredible and really was just mediocre.
