i have never heard the other monitors mentioned, but i am pretty happy with my b&w signature 805 with jadis ja30 and wadia 861b setup. the s805 are lively, engaging, well balanced, forward, tube friendly (class a tube 30 watts are more than enough), and have a slightly golden sound and wide soundstage. bass is tuneful and adequate (shakes my wooden floors) after 200 hours of break-in. they offer lots of detail but are not the most transparent.
the s805 love piano, strings, and vocals.
they are worth auditioning since you have a b&w dealer near you.
good luck!
