B&W Nautilus 803's versus 804's and 802's

any opinions on the above 3 speakers. I like the sound of the 804's but want a LITTLE more bottom end and a LITTLE
more soundstaging. I found the 802's too big for my room. I'm sitting back about 9 feet from the speakers. The 802's mid range was clearer, there was more bottom end and more dynamics but I felt it was a little too much for how close I was to the speakers. I think the 802's are great if you have the room and can sit back far enough to really enjoy them.

I just bought a pair of N804's. The 803's did have a slight more bottom end and a slight more definition in the highs. However, I didn't feel the slight difference in sound justified the much higher cost. I was able to get a (barely) used pair from my dealer for 50% of retail, making the N803's twice the price!

I am very happy with the result!
