Hard to imagine the 800 provides 25% better sound for the 25% increase in cost. My guess would be marginal sound. I thought I read some other SDer posting a comparison of the two on an old thread but I can't find it. The user basically said he kept the 700 because sound quality was marginal. This is still tempting for me because I like the white option and slim look but I was also hoping to connect an old Sonos Connect to the optical input so the lack of that might kill the deal for me.

Thanks, logged into work account and dropped price to 300 as well. Not sure how low this has been, but I'm doing best buy pickup so can always research and change mind later
how is this compared to Q700B? They are both 3.1.2 but Q700b is only $240.
I haven't tried q700b, but some time ago I had jbl bar 2.1 from Marshall's for 199. S800b is way better for me and as for my home usage I'm happy with performance. In this price range (300$) I think that's the best You can get.

Well I just ordered 1 to pick up at Bestbuy and will return the one I don't want

Thanks for a well explanation ... seems like s800b wouldn't justify the 25% cost increase but I will try to listen it first before returning.
