Hmmm...I found the 805 to be quite bright for HT use, where there's simply an excess of top octave junk. Spendor S3/1p L&R and their SC3 center certainly work great for me, and NEVER fatigue. I just don't have to worry as much about lousy source material, the midrange is great (as expected), and the bottom's nice and Britishy-quick. Boston VR-MX surrounds mate well, as well their PV1000 fast-paced sub.
I DO appreciate more linear top octave performance in my ref 2 ch system (VA Parsifal Encores), but again, HT is a different can of worms...oops---priorities.
