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?

I had the same same set-up as you. The 801 NC's cost $2400 and come in four boxes. Are you using the stock EQ filter? If you are, DON'T! Check out the Krell, Anodyne(I used it) and JPS Golden Flutes.
They degrade the sound. Get the stands and add the large Polycrystal brass cones which are a lot better than the Tone cones. If yu sit far away enough, the tweeters will be at ear level. Is the bottom panel removed? It should so that it does'nt resonate with the music.
