B+W 800D vs 801D

Here you go! B&W : 800D vs 801D

Here is another thread with Review of 801D
After reading all comments I would recommend to listen first and then make a decision. For me, as someone else already pointed out, the design of 801D doesn't make sense. But since I didn’t audition them I can’t judge.

There has been written an article about these two in one test in a German magazine in 2005.

The 801 has more drive in the low freq. But the 800 has more speed and accuracy. It also depends what your own preference is. Abbey Road used the 801 Nautilus for many years, but now they use the 800D. The 801 is a lot cheaper. And the 800 looks so much better. So make your own choice
