RE: B&W 801 S2 Fatigue VS. 802 S2 No Fatigue?

I have owned and loved the B&W 801 S3 on sound anchor stands. I had it in a big room 30x18. Driven by High current amps. Sounded fantastic, tight bass that went low and very good imaging due to the movable head. I had no fatigue. I should not I'm a vinyl guy and maybe that helped tame them. I also should mention my hearing is not good over 10K but good below that.

I have now in my bedroom system, and used them in my main rig when I got them a mint pr of ADS L910's with built in stands. They are an excellent speaker and can even be put close to walls. These were designed for Studios editing classical music. I highly recommend them.

Some others have mentioned Wilsons. I now have a pr of 8's that work very well on my long wall. They are the best sounding speakers (To me) so far. I did get them used at a great price.
My room is treated and I used their set up technique.
