Any feedback on the new B&W 802D's

Maybe some of this feedback could be born out of your own observations? You have an impressive system! I cant help thinking you have some observations.

Transporter, Thanks for the info.

Seems to me like the midrange has "gone away" in the new line. More top and more bottom, less music.

Having spent a little time with the 803D and 802D, I did not hear it the way Ez2hear did. The diamond tweeter is very smooth and very nice, the new Rohacell bass drivers give a nice tight bass and the speakers were seemless top to bottom, once they got some hours on them; I greatly enjoyed listening to both.

Compuman99,
They sound excellent, but i'm selling mine to buy a pair of Watt puppy 7s. I'm not sure how they compare to the Sophia though, that is a cheaper speaker than the Puppy 7s. The 802Ds do sound excellent. I have a classified up for them if you are interested...

Ez2hear,
What you are experiencing is valid and you can solve that problem in a few ways or in a combination of ways. One is to remove the wheels and buy the optional spikes for your carpet, or the plastic stumps for your floor. Two is to move the speaker out 4 feet from all walls. Third is to buy a room conditioner and let it fix the problems without you having to move the speakers or change the wheels.

I think the third solution is the best, but it is also the most expensive, but if you change speakers you can use it with whatever new gear you use, and it is pretty cool that you can change your speakers' response to the room at any time to anyting you want, even just for fun. You use a mic and a computer hooked up to the room conditioner equipment to get whatever response curves you want for the room. I believe there have been recent reviews of one by TacT in magazines.
