b&w suggestions

Hello and good day to audiogon...

i currently have, for my home theater, full 804s speakers. front and rears and the htm3s center.

i find this an excellent surround system.

my question... since i never seem not to have the change it around bug... is would it be worth it to find 803s fronts for the same system? or possibly some older 802's for the front.

but then i wonder how will the center match up with the older 802's. i am pretty confident that the 803s speakers would match up with my center.

so any thoughts? or should i leave well enough alone?

thanks and have a great weekend
Bill

This is in my home theater set up. not much music at all being played through them. 804s are all around... was wondering for the front sound stage.

thanks

On the good side, looks like the 804s will sell pretty good and that will help buy any others. so there is that.

When you went to buy your 804s and ended up with the 802s.. were you listening to both sets on the same equipment and with a sub for both or were they both just two channel without a sub?

i ask this because i use a sub for my home theater... if i used 802s or 804s they would both be crossed over at 80 or 50 and the sub would take the lower ranges... so it would be harder to distinguish between the two sets of speakers because i am using the sub.

With the addition of my anthem statement amp. the 804s fill the room well. although, since i have not listened to the other speakers in the series i do jot know if i am missing anything that great.

thank you for the response

Thank you.... i would be great to find someone close by that has the 803 so i could listen to them... i do not know of anyone in my area with the brand.... we should get a local list of owners to be able to find out this kind of thing.

thank you

This is true... maybe i would be fine with my center. or maybe down the road i could find one 802 for the center

Weight and moving around are not an issue, the sound difference between the center i have and possible 802n or 802d is my main concern.

My question is more of what front speakers will match up well with my center?
i use my speakers for ht... and on a side note i am not really sold that the 802 would be a great upgrade seeing how they will be crossover and a sub introduced.
