If you consider the current oval shape of the bottom plate of the 803D3, you will see how organically and purely the oval shape of the bottom plate harmonizes with the case shape. In the d4, the bottom plate is rounded off more angularly at the front to fit in more forcefully with the box shape. Less purely industrial-organic in design, and purely intended to be coûte que coûte different or "new". The leather on the top of the bass housing also detracts from the genual industrial design of the 802D3. Curious about the sound reproduction! Bram Hillen
