" which one had the best treble??" .."which of the speakers tweeter sounded the best to you????" (Zb542 -aka, the cut-n-paste bandit) This is what some joker is referring you should decide your choices from?!!
..Yeah you can take anything ZB542 says with a great big grain of salt!! In fact, if anything that's about the only guarantee you'll find here!! Lol. What a joker! ("take half of $40k n then use other half to fix the mistakes ull be making!?!??" -ZB542)
Well enough about ZB542-8675309,er whatever his prison cell number was... If you buy any hifi gear at all these days, there's ZERO reason u need to take a loss if you decide to get something else n resell it. The used market is endless on the net, and many a bargain to be found if u take your time n wait for deals. That said, don't know anything about your acoustic space, the setup, your listening preferences, etc, to make proper recommendations to try. But, from your B&W n Mac considerations, I'll say that you'll probably be happy with the chemistry between this gear, yes. Still, only way to get strong dynamic and imaging performance out of those music first designed loudspeakers would be if u run them as small\80hz cross from ur processor for movies (best dynamic controlled from a 6ohm full range passive speaker), and I strongly recommend setting the speakers up so you sit closer than far from the speakers, such as a long-wall set up, sitting closer than back far from mains, or use in a high ceiling room application.(those open on top tweeters want more direct sound to ur ears than reflected sound from room boundaries.- Otherwise be prepared for smeared imaging, weak sound staging, and softened micro dynamics!
With typical acoustically challenging rooms and mmultich movie speaker systems, I usually recommend Dappolito config passive more movie dedicated loudspeakers, cause they generally work out better, where as your B&WS are harder to integrate.
Yeah, any more multi-midrage\bass driver sandwiching a tweeter or two, or focused propagation topology loudspeaker, even active designs, will usually yield a stronger presentation, sonically. Where as a single tweeter over a single midrange design offers dynamic limitations, more potential distortion a solid levels, less signal reinforcement for difficult material, needs narrower speaker distance setup than wide setup, and less acoustically friendly. (In fact, consider looking at older Mac HT-1 thx loudspeaker system design as a contrast for movies as a speaker design vs the 802s n find out the advantages n disadvants of one vs the other, n consider.
I personnaly would never own the 802 to keep, because I love superior dynamics n acoustically friendly loudspeakers myself.
But to each his own...just careful in setup otherwise, if u must
