I'm interested in what you hear.
I too was really hoping that the upgrade to the 803 cabinet in the d3 revision would let me get that instead of an 802. However the d3 version of the 804 was a bigger upgrade with a better result to my ears. Of course the 802d3 (which I heard along with those others) has both a palpable presence and fullness that I really love, so I've stuck with my 802N until I can afford an upgraded 802 or find another speaker as good as ours. To me the 804d3 gets closest within the rest of the B&W range, but is still a far smaller-sounding speaker (although I love that it is actually smaller unlike the 802 which have grown at every revisions).
Enjoy your listening, and please post your experience.
