B W 801II w/upgrade vs. 801III ????


Not sure if anyone has experienced both but here goes:

I have a set of 802II with upgraded (III) tweeters and the NorthCreek crossovers. If I went to 801III, would I be moving forward in a speaker or back?

In other words, are the NorthCreeks so much better than the standard III I should just keep what I have?

I is basically a question as the crossovers are large and space somewhat limited.

Your thoughts/ideas?

Hey guys, I have the B&W 802 series3 on Sound anchor stands, I think the tweeter( and this goes for the 801 also) has such a wide dispersion and is in a free and open perch atop the midrange that it doesn't matter if its not exactly ear height, A few inches above or below, above is better, wont make that much of a difference. May I pose a question to you B&W matrix owners, does anybody who listened to both(802 and 803) know or hear a big difference between them, aside from bass response, or is there a big difference in bass? Is one tighter than the other? Post your comments, Im curious.
