What are the weak points for both speakers? I had a brief comparison with both spearkers. The new 805S is pretty much new out of the box so they are not broken in yet, I think. The Sig 805 appears to have better high-end extension and the 805S has better bass response. But after awhile, it appears that Sig 805 has too much top-end that makes everything else recessed. The 805S appears to be more balance. I ended up ordering the 805S. I know there might be better sounding speakers, but none looks better.
B&W 805S.. Anyone listen yet?
I've had my pair for about a week now. That is after owning two pairs of Signature 805's, and one pair of Nautilus 805's. I have some initial impressions, but before I mention those, I'd love to hear from other members. As I understand it, both the 805S and the signatures have their strong points and weak points. That coming directly from technical support at B&W when asked what the differences were.
I've owned about 20 pairs of speakers in the past couple years. I was happy with the signatures, but finances forced the sale. When I was ready to get back into it, the new "S" was available. I'm not real interested in hearing suggestions for other speakers, only from those that have experience with these. Thanks,
Seth
