RE: Confused about B&W 802 flavors - 802D vs 802 Diamond vs 802D2

Do think carefully before buying these B&W speakers. I was seriously considering the 802D speakers and found an excellent pair at a dealer. I listened to them, playing music I was familiar with. They sounded awful! The bass was over the top which is great if you like head-banging music, but anything with subtlety is likely to disappoint.

If you're only into rock music, you'll love these big B&Ws. Almost anything else, you'll hate them - sooner or later.
