B&W 800 Signiture

Hi, I am upgrading a complete new sound system and would like to get some opinions please. I will have a Mac system the mx 150 , two mc 501 monos etc. On speakers I want B&W and was thinking on the 802 Diamonds, but, I have found a mint set of B&W 800 signitures for $5000. Is this a good price , they are mint and from 2003. Are they good speakers, thanks

That is a crazy good price. So good, I might be a bit suspect.

Are they a good speaker vs the 800d or 802d

absolutely, they were $16K to $20K and only the tweeter is upgraded so unless you have to hav ethe diamond. I'd say save some money and grab them because I wouldn't sell my N802's much lower than that right now.

I think the 800N signatures sound better than the newer diamond 800 series. I am not sold on the newer Rohacel woofers and diamond tweeters. I think the paper/pulp woofer seems to quicker and more natural sounding. The tweeter on the nautilus series is a little thick but with the right wire and newer better caps you should have a speaker that in my opinion should kill any of the newer Diamond series.
