Do you still have yours? I'd love to hear them!
No, I moved into Kefs for a while, was running a superb pair of 104/2's which are still sitting in a cupboard as I can't bare to part with them even though the 801's are head and shoulders better.

If space is a premium I would keep your eyes open for an older pair of B&W matrix 805's, they go for 500 to 800 depending on finish and the hutzpah of the seller and they sound utterly lovely.
They are a true moniter, you can put them in a bookshelf or right up against a wall. Probably 1.5 ft cubed but sound like they are a full size speaker. Audiogon is a good source for second hand gear frm the US, they changed their website so it is actually harder to get around but I will head down to Seattle to look at stuff at times.
