I have VOn Schweikert Vortex Screens (an older model) and they are more revealing than B&W 802's. The 802 is a little thick and not as revealing in the lower octaves. I sold B&W's in a moonlighting jog for my friend's audio store. Personally the B&W 805's with a pair of Vandersteen subs sounded much better than the 802's. The 803's are the best floor standing b&w.
I still like VOn Schweikert's better and now that albert is solvent again they should hold their value. A beautiful speaker - very revealing and there is virtually no cabinet noise, they disappear into the room!
try out a pair at home before you buy or at best take some varied material you are very familiar with and give both a serious listening, both are nice speakers
