First of all, you may not want to use the B&W filter at all.
Hook it up in the tape loop. Then you can compare it easily with or without it. I would almost bet you will end up not using it at all.
I own the B&W800's and before I actively biamped them I tried the B&W filter and didn't like it. I felt that it degraded the sound more than it helped. Now I use Krell's KBX active x-over which includes the bass alignment filter function, but with Krell quality. The overall result is fabulous.
If you do get the 802's with the filter, please let us know YOUR opinion.
