I heard much the same thing. Apparently, the tweeter on the 700 series is actually nicer than the 800 series. The tweets are similar to the signature series. He informed me that the 800 series will be updated soon. Personally, I find it hard to believe that the 703's are comparable to any 800 series speaker. Furthermore, they obviously don't offer a 700 series speaker that competes the "big" 800 series (802,801,800).
