I'd like to know if any N802 Owners have upgraded to the 803Diamond? Or if 803D Owners considered buying used N802?Used 803Diamond costs at least $1K more than used N802, is it worth the cost difference or is the N802 a better all-around Speaker?
The 803D is a better speaker. I've owned the 802N for over 6 years. The low's are more tight,and with the new diamond tweeter and also improved midrange unit it sets this speaker to a much higher level.
I own a pair N802 & N803 speakers. I hope to upgrade to the diamond 802's. I can't comment on the diamonds because I haven't heard them in my system but there is no comparison between the N802 and N803. The 802's blow the 803's out of the water. I can't imagine that it would be any different with the diamonds. I've been told that the new diamonds have a tighter base in general so it is possible (remote in my humble opion) that the diamond 803 would have more bass than a N802. But the difference in cabinet size dictates that the 802's will move more air.
