I tried the 804 D3s at home some weeks ago, using cable jumpers in place of the standard jumper bars. I preferred the treble from my ProAc ribbon tweeters and thought that the 804s were a sideways move, so decided against buying them. In all honesty, I think the 804s are overpriced for what they are and liked the design of the 804 D2 better. I also tried the Focal Sopra 2 (too bright in the upper mid and treble). I much preferred the Sonus faber Olympica ll, which sounded perfect in my room and looked better than anything I'd ever seen. I've put a deposit down on a pair and will be getting them in the next couple of weeks.
