One thing I want to point out, the tweeter in the original 802 is measurably smoother in the top octaves than current models, despite being "boring" Aluminum AND a micro-motor (which I usually don’t like at all).

B&W 802 - Analysis and Upgrade
Hi Everyone,
I always loved the look of the 802s but never the sound very much, but always always thought they were very good looking in wood.
Anyway, I found a very interesting read for the armchair speaker designers in the forums, I encourage you to read it. I personally have no opinions on this article, except that I agree with the author more often than not, and he's much better and more experienced than I am. But please take none of this as me promoting any particular point of view. I just think the article itself may give fans of B&W and upgraded parts, and speaker design a lot more insight than you glean from Stereophile.
