B&W N800, 800D, 802D for my room 16x17x8

Eandylee...another thing about Vandersteen speakers is they are musical...no matter what kind you are interested in.

I have owned every B&W speaker mentioned and then some. asuming no new version that I am not aware of, the 800d's are by far the best of the group! My room is a simmalar size and demention and the 800d's will work great in your room. My wife loved them, thought they were the best looking of any speaker i have owned and there have been many. I believe B&W gives you the most for your money. hope this helps. everyone has an opinion but it is only yours that truely matters. p.kogan

I still say 802N or D and spend the extra saved $$$ on other area's. I don't think we have talked about what you are using in the rest of your system unless I missed it. What is the rest like or are you starting from scratch?

I would get the 803D! they look awesome with the FST driver and 3 additional front woofers.

It may sound typical with B&W but I have been listening to them since mid 90's because they "rock" & simply play everything great.

That's incredibly dumb as there is no universally accepted definition as to what is "musical".
