I was considering the 802d until I auditioned the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation - the Parsifals simply took my breath away. They were so much more musically engaging than the 802d, which in turn seemed more cold and clinical - accurate and as opposed to musical. The Parsifals aslo have more defined bass detail than the 802d, and a wonderfully liquid midrange. I must say that I was surprised given the reputation of the 802d.
The VA Sarastro II is closer to the 801d, and though I have not heard them, they are supposed to be phenomenal and well suited to a larger space. They are also more efficient than the 800 series B&W.
Add Verity Audio to your week-end audition list!
