B&w 800 Diamond Vs 802 Diamond. The S5 Mk IIs tweeter is made from beryllium and then coated with a layer of diamond a few microns thick. 802D significant improvement on the highs more fluid but still very detailed.
As I understand the nomenclature the first diamond tweeter version released around 2005 is the 802D followed later around 2010 by the 802D2. Yet compare the 800s performance with that of its rivals and you might even think that BW has underpriced them. I have the 800ns have directly compared them to the 800ds with the Ns winning hands down to my ears.
If your 2 channel system remained the same and you only switched the 802 Diamonds for 800 Diamonds.
Mids comparable to 802N slight improvement on the bass. For the new 800 Series Diamond D3 models BW developed a new material for the midrange cone that they call Continuum which replaces the easily identifiable Kevlar theyve used for many years. Indeed precious little jockeying was required to optimize the 802 Diamonds in my listening roomAnd They Really Rock. If your 2 channel system remained the same and you only switched the 802 Diamonds for 800 Diamonds.
