I owned N801 since 2004 and have been tracking / listening to various speakers to keep up with progress.
I like the sound quality of Salon 2 but was not enough to justify the change.
I have been monitoring 800D, 800D2, 802D2 , also was not enough to justify the change.
Until I heard the sound of 802 D3, the D3 new design has significantly better high frequency, the speed/transient is electrostatic like, sounds of breaking glass or cymbal ringing is life like. The midrange with dedicated improved enclosure material does improve the voice clarity over the Salon2. The woofer note is better than the old D1/D2 but comparable to Salon2 ,,,that is my observation.
