I do have 802 D3 since November 2015, very happy with it, any point in particular you want to discuss?

I am very new here on this Forum. I'm awaiting the arrival of my 802d3 + D400. I had been using the 802 since 1990 and had the Matrix 802 S2 but sadly lost 'em in the April 2015 devastating earthquake in Nepal where I was stationed, working with UN. Now that I've moved to West Africa very recently, its a brandnew start for me... once again. 

My room is 18-Ft wide x 30-Ft long with 9-Ft ceilings. The new 802d3 should work in this room I feel.

Congratulation it is a great combination, just be prepare for a long burn in process with the 802 D3, it took me a long time to get them to their full potential, associate them with nice cables and change the original jumpers after few weeks, Nordost reference work great for me , then I promise you will not regret your choice.

Have fun!

Thanks for the tip ...

Before the earthquake wiped out my gear, I had the Metronome Kalista Ref CD Transport, Accuphase DC-901 DAC, FM Acoustics 255MK2 pre, Symphonic Line Kraft 300 Stereo pwr amp, XLO Sig-5.2 biwire cables, Kubala Sosna Emotion ICs, pneumatic stuff for the vibration and other power accessories + 5000+ discs. 

I lost quite a bit of the hardware but the rest will be mated back with the 802 D3 and D400. 

Bowers & Wilkins insider tech friends that I know well from the last 30 yrs tell me that 1000 hrs will open up the speakers. 

so, am patiently waiting for the delivery boys' ...
