B&W D1 vs D2 Diamond D1 vs Diamond D2

Hi,

Is the bullet color different. I think D1 has Black and D2 has silver.

I see that D2 parts are expensive than D1

If i am buying. How to tell one from another.
Does it say on the back 805D and then letter D in small box just like they did in the 805S and then letter S logo.

Thanks

But the 801s of any generation won't sing without the proper amp or amps behind them!

I wish B&W would bring back the 801D.

Yeah, I agree, that was one Hell of a speaker. I had the pleasure of auditioning one in 1990 or '91 at a local dealer. I liked it a lot, but I couldn't quite afford it, really. And so it goes...Years later I heard the 801Ds, and let me tell you, they were the best 801s ever made, I don't care what anyone says. A lot of guys say the Matrix 2 or 3, some the Nautilus, and those are very good, but the 801D is something special, imo. I have yet to find one on the used market! I'm sure I've missed some listings here or there, but I bet when an 801D goes up for sale, they get snapped up immediately! The 802Ds are dime a dozen, sorry about that!
