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.

Ok fella's, I need to mention that this thread has been officially derailed.

Let's keep the posts pertinent to the original question.

As for my opinion, I think the 802D's will do magically in your room. It doesn't look like there would be enough room to handle the seperation distance required for proper staging of speakers as large as the 800's.

Also, with the introduction of the new 802 Diamonds, I think the 802D's have dropped signifcantly in price on the used market.

I did see your updated dimensions and still believe the 16' width (where the screen is placed)will not allow for proper spacing of the 800's.

If your screen is on the 20' side, I would definitely do the 800's, but with the 16' side, I love the 802's for this setup.
