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

The 803Ds are amazing speakers, but the 802Ds are better. Best to listen to them in your own room, if possible.

I have thought about the sophias,just worried my room is to small for them and im running a jefrowland M112,if it would have the power to drive them the way i want.

yes i have heard the 802d's there just more then i want to spend, im looking to spend 6k-on used.

I have to strongly disagree with those referring to B&W as a dinosaur brand living off it's reputation .Few others spend the resources on R+D that B&W does.I can almost bet we will see a completely revamped line for the B&W 800 series within a year or so.Now, back to the original question.I had the 803D for about a year. They are good speakers and very well balanced but I agree almost all B+Ws are overpriced. However at around 5-6K used you can't go wrong.

Budt?-what did you use to power ,pre and source.

the day i listen to them was marantz and pioneer and they sounded flat and not very dynamic.
