Without any doubt whatsoever, the Shahinian Hawk would be the speaker of my choice. I own the Shahinian Diapasons and I have auditioned the 802's. I suspect the 802's would be a step down from your Arcs. Just my opinion (please no abuse from B&W owners) If you haven't found it, I could give you the link to Scott Markwels review of the Shahinian Hawks.
B & W N802 or Shahinian Hawks?
Hi I am upgrading my speakers and am confused over either the 802s or the Hawks. Being in Qatar auditioning is not possible - I need help! I run a Naim CDX, with XPS, NAC 82 with 2 x HICAPS and a Dynavector HX 1.2, and currently Shanhinian Arcs. Any advice would be welcome.
