I had always owned B&W's, but was torn recently when between B&W, Acoustic Energy and Sonus Faber when looking to upgrade. I was very close to buying the 805's and got the Concertos instead. In my opinion, The Sonus Faber Concertos can go head to head with the 805's so I think the Grand Pianos will blow them out of the water. Only caveat, they like/need some power.

I was also auditioning against Pro-Ac and Acoustic Energy in different stores. I listen to An Amazing mix of music from Jazz to Electronica, Classical to HipHop, and for me, the Concertos made my favorite music sound TOTALLY different than I had ever heard it before. Might have just been a different voicing from the b and w's but it was nice for a change. Sax and vocals and pianos are incredible on them. Let us know what you decided. BTW, if you like floorstanders (I had to by monitors due to kids), try the PROACS they are definitely up there too!
