Thoughts on the new B&W 800D series speakers

I heard the new B&W 804's last night and they sounded pretty good. They completely disappeared and sounded very good tonally. Went back home and listened to my Silver Signature's playing the same CD, and I don't think I'd traded my Silver Sig's in for them. BUT... There were things I liked better from each speaker AND... the two room sizes were a lot different, so I'd have to compare them side-by-side. The new midrange speaker was really quick and seemed accurate. The dealer hadn't received any of the 800D line with the Diamond tweeters yet. Has anyone heard them? What did you think?

While the non-diamond tweeter models are definitely improved with better bass drives, midrange units, and tweeters that go out to about 50K, the diamond models are outstanding. The 801s are truly a candidate for one of the better speakers available. In addition to better driver integration and coherency, they manage to play huge and maintain a sense of inner detail that you normally associate with a low powered single-ended tube amp driving an effecient pair of speakers.
