Thanks to everyone for your courteous input! Actually went with a "as-new" conditoned pair of original 802N's I purchased for a song. The price was so right I could not refuse them. Shipping to me now. Paid an amazing $3200.00 for pristine conditon, boxes (absolutely new condition as well-were never used), manuals, all the accessories that came with the original pair. At this price I am confident I can sell them for a little more and then move on to more current 802, if I don't like what I hear.
Happy New year guys! -Jeff
