      Always depends on what’s driving them maybe the setup was in favour of 803’s. I mean a 90w a channel amp may be just right for 803’s but on 802’s they may like a more powerful amp to bet better accuracy

    Am listening to this demo on a high end PC and Sennheiser gaming headphones.First off,to level the playing field, I think the speakers should exchange places when playing.Personally I prefer speakers that sound a bit forward and the Band W's sound so to me .Both are fantastic sounding but the Bowers are more open and instrument placements are more defined.The Bowers are incredible works of art which one could enjoy just looking at them in candlelight with them turned off.Also they are less expensive than the Martens, which, to be brutally frank look like cheap DIY efforts.

    This loudspeaker controls the (somewhat reverberant) room perfectly! You can also hear here that this is a perfect recording. Suddenly it becomes clear how important these two components belong together, especially when you think of the bad sound of the previous video, (ELAC Carina Demo with Air - Playground), which could not be enjoyed at all.
    (Provided they apply same recording conditions.)

    Diese Box beherrscht den (etwas halligen) Raum perfekt! Außerdem hört man hier, dass es sich um eine perfekte Schallplattenproduktion handelt. Auf einmal wird klar, wie wichtig diese beiden Komponenten zusammen gehören, besonders wenn man an den schlechten Sound des vorangegangen Videos denkt (ELAC Carina mit Air -Playground), das so gar nicht gefallen konnte.

    How would you place it against the Hegel 590 I wonder? I would love to directly compare them...

      Thanks a lot Bill! Sorry I missed your comment...I consider The F-05 one of the best integrated at any price. Maybe not the absolute perfect partner for B&W 800 series. Their extreme separation and definition could request a more mellow amplification to be musically satisfying (just my opinion). I never compared the esoteric with Hegel 590 in controlled condition therefore I can't give you an useful opinion. All the best to you and your family

    All I know is I listened to these yesterday 802's with two McIntosh monoblocks attached and all the fixings about $80,000 worth of stuff I was told. I much prefer my JBL 590's sitting next to me for a fraction of the cost of what these are! Using a Denon 3801 receiver! James Blunts latest album which has fantastic sound quality! I contribute most of that to the compression driver and the horn that the 590 offers. Now I don't know if I had these in my room which of course they weren't they would blow me away but I was very unimpressed to what I was listening to using the same songs that I'm listening to right now!🤪🤪🤯🤯😳😳 They sounded a little bit veiled in comparison I was shocked. I know sound is subjective but this was Way Beyond subjectiveness.🤔🤔🙄😬 And yes, it could have been the McIntosh amps that suck the life out of them but they didn't sound too good to me that's for sure.

      Big Jay I appreciate the advice, might give it a try 👍 A couple years ago I heard the big dog 800 D3’s at a hifi store and was underwhelmed by them. Maybe using the wrong amp? Incredible holographic imaging and soundstage, but completely lacking in power and bass. Perhaps would have sounded better using big McIntosh or Classe amps, but seems ridiculous to spend $50k+ on such a setup.

      Yes, the white speakers are Klipsch RF7ii.
      Blue speakers are KEF.

    I weirdly prefer the KEF ref 3. The speaker that pulled me out of B&W, after owning N805, N804, 802D2, ... D3 is a bit to fakely revealing. KEF ref 3, more balanced and beautiful soundstage

    Is it necessary to show the back of the speakers?

    They sound good but they are way to bright and shouty for my taste.
