B&W Diamond D3

Hello all

quite excited just heard the B&W 802D3 today, sounded very good to me, too bad I can't afford them.

It gave me the impression of a very refined and musical sound, with breathtaking clarity, definitely worth the price tag. The new material replacing the Kevlar looks space-age from the future to me. The bass was huge 

In terms of the improvement from the D2 series, I could not get the chance to hear the old ones and the new ones side by side, but the new ones are definitely better, more musical, smooth, and "lifelike"

I also listened to the 805D3, which sounded fantastic too. 

I did hear them driven off my Chord Hugo with classe amps, I would need to hear them driven off my Naim Amps to come to a final conclusion. I just don't feel like taking my Naim kit to the B&W dealer by myself, I am waiting for friend to come back from holiday and help me with this.

The speakers were almost brand new, so the dealer and I both agreed that I would need to hear them again in a month or two, since they do need to run in quite a while.

As a British citizen I am very impressed with the quality of hi-fi coming out of the UK.
