I've had extensive experience with the Aerial Acoustics 10Ts (with CC3 center and SR3 surrounds) and the B&W M801 (HTM center and Morel surrounds). I can't comment on the N802 or N803.
Both setups were musically very satisfying, with ample 'Oomph' for 5 channel HT (my music/HT mix is more like 75%/25%). Sound wise, I could live very happily with either, though I eventually replaced the B&W setup with the Aerial one.
The M801 were far more location sensitive. To sound acceptable, they required free space (about 4 ft. min.) to the sides and behind. This is the reason I finally replaced them. The 10Ts still sound their best in that localization, but are more than acceptable anywhere else in the room, including tucked almost in a corner.
While both the M801s and the 10Ts had similar sensitivities, the former were much easier to drive, resulting in excellent sound from comparatively inexpensive amps. The 10Ts go to 3 ohms at some frequencies, requiring an amp capable of driving a low impedance. They sound strident and strained with a lesser amp (even though it drove the M801s to perfection). I drive them with Aragon 8008ST (two cahnnel) and 8008X3 (three channel) amps, capable of delivering 200WPC into 8 ohms, 400WPC into 4 ohms. I suspect the 10Ts will be happy with lower power amps, provided these amps are capable of high current output.
