Private sale of the 805D is going to net $3000-$3500, based on most recent sales records available. This puts the budget $5k, give or take. 75 wpc with KT88s is fairly dynamic but focus on high efficiency +/-87 dB. Is the preference to stay with monitors or full-range floorstanders?
B&W 805D alternatives
I've got the upgrade bug and want to get a new pair of speakers. I currently have a pair of 805D's with the following: McIntosh MC275, VTL 2.5 preamp, Moon .5 CD player, Concept Turntable with Moon phono stage, all cables and interconnects are Nordost. I have the opportunity to home audition a pair of Sonus-Faber Olympica I.
I would like some suggestions on what would be a good upgrade. I would sell my speakers and put $2000 towards the new pair.
