B&W 800D vs 800 Diamond

Hi all....what is the difference between the B&W 800D and 800 Diamond speakers? Would anyone have images to show the difference? I can't seem to find a difference using google search. Could some B&W aficionados shed some light? Thanks so much!

In looks, how to tell the difference is.

The d2
has silver rings around the speakers.
has no holes for grill tabs in the cabnet.
by the terminals it says diamond not just a "D"
If it is the black finish, it will be piano gloss.

Rohsal,

Give the Vivid B1 or G3 a listen and compare to the 802's. You will be pleasantly surprised. Do a search on them comparing the two. Lots of people have and went with the Vivids.

The D2 latest series has better upper and lower octaves. The midrange is basically the same. D2 piano black finish is the best looking 800 so far.
