arrived home around 7:00pm got them in the house and unpacked one. left them in the hall all night.
This morning I unpacked of the pallets and rolled them into place. (glad they got rollers on the bottom, as they weight 144lbs ea)
Now the fun time of breaking them in, and finding the best placement for them.

Many congrats !! Indeed - I can very well understand the moments you've been thru (as I await my turn for the arrival of my 802d3 + D400 next week).
BTW - aren't the speakers waaayy too close to each other ?
my sources in the B&W Fac say [if you can manage to dial-in 1000 hrs, the 803s would be "silk smooth"] ...

Going for the big boys, 802D3. The 802D3 where not in my budget. You should love the Devialet D400 with them.
Keep us informed on your new toys.
The B&W manual says spacing 1.5 to 3 metres, since that picture was taken, I have done some placing adjustments
now they are 2.25 metres apart and have popped up a lot better.
I'm working on that 1000hrs plus, I am running 12/14 hrs a day at the moment.
