Budt ..Take a deep breath..You should expect such posts when asking about any B&Ws.Its a love or hate speaker line just like Wilson and McIntosh electronics..Ive never owned the 801D but have heard them before in a few different setups..Personally, I dont care for them or the 802d..For me they have a slow & tubby bottom end,lacking in detail.The soundstage is very unnatural.They remind me of what I call an old man speaker,,Go take a listen & judge for yourself..If an audition is not available because of distance then I would suggest moving on to another speaker you can hear
