I've heard the 805's numerous times. Very nice sounding speaker, of course, depending on what you have in front of them. I was in the market very recently for the same thing. I opted for the M20's and they should be delivered this morning. I don't think I will be disappointed.
Best bookshelf speaker reccomendations?
I currently have the platinum solos (hence my screen name) and have been considering upgrading them in the near future. I love them, but am just curious to see if anyone out there has moved on or has some relevant comparisons. On my list are the following:
AAD 2001 (phil jones new replacements for platinum)
Wilson benesch ARC
B&W 805 signature version
Revel GEM or M20
JM Lab micro utopia
Piega P-?
Currently evolving system: CEC TL2X and monarchy DAC (to be replaced by audio logic 2400 or similar), Pass X150 and soon to be X2.5 preamp.
