I wonder what the reviewer would have made of the 800?!

There would probably have been no artical at all, because his head would have exploded before he could start writing.

I think we can expect a full review of 400 or 800 from Fritz very soon...

Thinking about it, there are not many reviews at all (maybe none?) beyond the 170 / 200, the original D-Permier excepted? Perhaps a good thing, almost every time I have auditioned hifi based on reviews, I have come away surprised and baffled about the lack of correlation between the review and what I actually hear. Best (Worst) one ever was the ATC100 active towers in real life vs the What Hi Fi review) It's the oldest advice in the business, but there is no substitute for a decent hifi dealer and your own ears.
