B&W Nautilus 802 compared to 804


I'm considering upgrading to the 802's from the 804's. Are there any opinions on the Musical Fidelity Nu-vista m3 integrated driving the 802's with a Linn Ikemi cd player for front end? I would like more bottom end but I like the focus and tight sound of the 804's.

Hmm...I too would consider the 803s IF you can sit far enough back from them to get good coherence. I couldn't.
Frankly, I'd swap out the 804s for the Revel Performa F30 if nearfield listening is required. Otherwise get the 803 and forget adding the sub. The 803 produces PRODIGIOUS bass, and has a far better balanced frequency response in most rooms than the 804's anemic bottom end.
