803D vs 801N


I am negotiating the purchase of one of these two speakers. I was hoping someone has an informed opinon about the camparison. I have listened to the 803D and loved the sound. I'm not sure if the 801N are better.

A recording studio has far different requirements than a home's hi-fi, so be wary of the marketing.

The 801 will have a fuller sound that the 803D's won't be able to match, simply due to its size and woofer configuration. However, the diamond tweeter is far superior and lifts the overall tonal quality of the new series far above the older models.

It's really a matter of budget, availability, and (most likely) the size of your room. 801's need a huge amount of space to properly throw from that 15" woofer.
