On a budget 802N or 803D??? Dealer says 803D.

I'm on a budget and interested in upgrading from Paradigm 100's to B&W 802N or 803D. Room size is 14 by 26 with 10 foot ceilings. Sitting approximatly 16 feet away. Will use them for home theater and two channel. Using five channel Parasound 2205, 220 watts per channel. May consider upgrading to Classe amp. Dealer is suggesting 803D's. I'm thinking and loving the looks of 802N's. Which one would you suggest and why. Your help is truely appreciated. Thanks Audiogoners!

Recently sold my N802's to move to the Diamond line. Ended up with the big ones, but listened to the 803D's quite a bit. IMO, a much better speaker then my N802's, but, Big is right, you will need to be careful with system matching. Classe amps are wonderful with the B&W's though, if that's in the cards. Email me if you're interested in more detail.
