I have heard the new B&W 802D speakers and IMHO I do not think I have heard a better mid to top speaker ever!!! Although the bass was somewhat shallow and hidden (which surprised me!! and I need a home audition) I am on an upgrade path myself and am still undecided as to whether to go active with some DSP 7000's and get rid of my Meridian pre/power amps (I love them) or just get another G57 and Biamp the 802's or similar..
