Listing a pair Bower & Wilkins (B&W) Model 802F Special Series 80 floor-standing speakers.
The Model 802F, second of the B&W Series 80 loudspeakers, follows the technical excellence of the 801, but with a more compact size and a somewhat lower cost to appeal to a wider spectrum of home users.
I paired these up with a Bryston 4B-ST and the sound was incredible, very open, with excellent mids and highs and a solid lower end.
The pair do also have consecutive serial numbers.
Regarding veneer cosmetics one speaker has a shallow 2-3" scratch on the side at a 45deg angle however with the grain of the wood it is not obvious that it is a scratch and will also be on the side and not in normal view. There is a also a dime size chip right on the bottom of one of the speaker at the bottom edge. I tried to capture all of these in the attached photos.
SPEC's
=============================================
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
B&W pioneered electronic overload protection in the 801 and is also employed in the 802. This Audio Powered Overload Circuit (APOC) renders Model 802F completely safe against all forms of AC or DC overload condition.

Weight: 32kg (70lb) per speaker
