B&W or JM labs


I want to upgrade my speakers. I currently have the B&W 805 S. What to get inputs on which speakers to go with.

I am looking for some thing efficient like in the range of 91 DB and above.

I have in mind the B&W 800 or the JM labs Divas BE.

There should be some one out there who has compared these.:)

One thing people are oveer looking on the B&W 800 is there need to be at least biamped! Maybe the McIntosh Mc 1201 at 1200 watts mono okay, your gona need some real power to run these speakers. Or you have wasted your money. Yes you can get by with 300 watts on the JM Labs. This is a different game with huge load requirement differences. I wouldn't be a question as to the speaker I raise my hand for B&W.
This is why I own the 805s and 805n I swear they image amongst the best out there. I do like the JM Labs Mini Utopia. I belive this is one of JM's better speakers. B&W-$2500, JM-$8000 Big difference in price.
