Hey op.9, yes, I have experience (probably the only person this side of the world) in repair and rebuilding of the PD 801. I have about 3 waiting to be rebuilt. I'm using one now, in my 'High Zoot Monomania' mono system, crossed with a 1mfd 2500v Sprague Vitamin Q. The PD needs to be XO'd at 1kHz. In my opinion, the sound is much like the 2001, and perhaps a bit lighter in 'air' — but my listening observations are only relevant for me in my studio. It essentially uses the same dome, VC, former as the 2001, but the mounting ring (on a new) assembly has to be drilled for the PD 801, and TAD, even though I'm a dealer, tells me that such a modification voids the warranty.
