B&W N800, 800D, 802D for my room 16x17x8


I have a dedicated listening/hometheater room with size 16x17x8.

I'm considering B&W N800 or 800D or 802D.

I'm planning to keep it for a while.
Tight deep base is important.

Looks like N800 and 802D are about same price range.

I'm wondering if 802D will be plenty of bass for my room size. Also if it's worth paying the extra to go 800D over N800.

Thanks for the responses guys and girls.
Ok I made stupid mistake. I don't know where I got 17 but just measured it again and it's

20.5' deep x 16' x wide x 8' high.

It looks like this: http://sites.google.com/site/avcave

I never had full-full-range before. I currently have JM Labs 926s with REL sub, and actually listening Trifield wih Meridian.

I build the system with Music and hometherater hybrid in mind. I enjoyed it pretty good(although didn't have much time as I wanted to so far), but I think it now makes more sense to separte Music system and HT system.

Others I was considering were Wilson Watt Puff 7, one of the JM Labs BEs, Sonus Faber Cremona/Amati.

I was able to listen, B&W N800 and Sonus Faber Cremona.
I liked them both, but leaning toward one of the B&Ws for this time.
I pretty much listen all kinds of music Rock, Pop, New Age Jazz, Classic exept country music and traditional rap.
Longhornguy and everyone, have you seen my edition?

I hate myself for putting wrong dimension on the title.

So again, the correct dimension is 20.5' deep x 16' x wide x 8' high = http://sites.google.com/site/avcave/

I actually looked(not in person) at Vandersteen 5A, and think it seems to be very good value full range piece, but never had chance to listen, and wanted to go safe.

I also like the look of 802D the most(even over 800), but don't want to lose any bottom side.

I'm wondering the ideal room sizes for 800D and 802D

Maybe I'll check with B&W, too.
