nice system...i used to own them and have also heard the 802s. yes, space is always a consideration, but i hear you on your comments regarding the 2 speakers. i always respected 802...but i owned the Guarneri...guess that says it all. Nice amp too. Enjoy!!!
It turned out to be a better speaker in that room from say 70 hz and up. The guarneri seemed much faster to me then the 802N did . And i didnt really miss the lower frequence when listening trough the guarneri. Of cause the B&W had a larger soundstage , but it was like the sf are somewhat friendlier to the ear, making listening a pleasure
Interested to know what made you jump from a full range to a small monitor like the SF - are you enjoying the music more now? That's all that matters really!
