Are 1st Generation B&W 800D Still Considered Diamonds?


Does anyone know why B&W specifically list the 2nd Generation 800D Diamonds, if the 1st Generation also uses the Diamond tweeters? Are the 1st Generation still worth the purchase? and what’s a fair price? Just curious!

It's just a product naming convention.  800D are still synthetic diamond tweeters.  The 2nd generation "800 Diamond" made improvements on the tweeter crossover circuit as well as the tweeter magnet motor.
Besides the tweeter, B&W also changed the speaker to have a little more oomph in the bass.  If you like the B&W sound, they're a good speaker to get.
