B&W 800 series diamond


Anyone out there hear the newest revision to the B&W 800 series shown at the 2010 CES? Interestingly enough, they are simply calling it the 800 series diamond, instead of 800D.

I just wanted to bump this up to see if anyone has had a chance to compare these.
I just heard the new 805D today.It is a startling upgrade from the 805S. It is probably the best bookshelf I have heard( atleast imo) . I am anxious to hear the new 802Di and 800Di now.
My comparison is only from memory but the improvement is quite dramatic.I have heard a number of very highly touted bookshelves but have never really been blown away by any of them.At one time I had the previous 805S and didn't have them long as I just didn't think they sounded like a 3 grand speaker.On the other hand the 805D sounds amazing. I could live with the 805D for years and be content.It is easily B&W's best bookshelf ever.
I heard the 805D which impressed the hell out of me but they didn't have the big boys( and still don't).
Anyone hear the new 802Di or 800Di? What are your thoughts?
