I auditioned the 803, loved the whole package excepr that metal tweeter. I bet the diamond sounds great. I ended up buying a silverline sonata for 1500 more. Cant't stand bright sizzle tweeters.
b&w 803 or vr4jr, best match
looking for input for new speakers for a macintosh ma6900 integrated and an arcan cd192 combo. haven't had a chance to listen to either of these speakers. both are within budget. is there a big difference between the 803d and 803s? most of the mac dealers i know of around here tend to have the b&w. von schweikerts are a little more scarce.
