I had thoughts about buying the 800D after I owned the 802N and 800S. The depth was not as other speakers could give. So I did not choose them. I heard the latest 800 series only at shows. This is often not the best way to Judge a speaker. These demo's were not that good. In 1999 I bought the 802N cause of the stunning palpable sharp focus of instruments and voices. Because other speakers which had more depth could not give the extreme palpable individual focus. I loved the sound for classical misic as well. Later I bought the 800S. When audio is your part of living you have the option to compare so many stuff you hear sometimes new magic things. These you want to create in your own system. Sometimes a brand cannot give what you really want. So you choose for another option.

Did any one compare the B&W 800 D series with other speakers like Magico, Avalon, Wilson, Focal, etc? What did you prefer and why? How is the stage depth and wide compared to there competitors?
