Hi and thanks for your reply, Ace427!
After having the 800's for a week and a half, I can also conclude that they are beast apart when compared with my 801S2 or S3. Mids and highs are performed with higher accuracy, and... what to say about the soundstage? The 800's go beyond. The bass response is not as tough as the 801's, being always controlled and never stressed. They carried together the B&W BAF, but I still have not connected it to the system. I remember I tried it with my old 801S2, but I never listened to novelties, so I decided to put it off. Have you got any experience with the Bowers BAF together with your whities? Thanks in advance!
