Save up another 100-500 bucks & wait for a nice N803 pair to hit Audiogon. The last few pairs in the 9/10, & 10/10 condition sold for $3100 - 3500 w/ sound anchor stands. The N803's are in an entire different league than the N805/804's. IMO you'll be sorry if you bought N804's? You could sell off the Velodyne HGS-12 to raise extra cash? Good Luck!!!
Upgrade path from a B&W N805.
Presently, I am running a pair of N805's with a Velodyne HGS-12. Pre-amp is a BAT VK 30SE driving a Linn Klout with a Arcam CD23 FMJ. Very good wires, interconnects,isolation devices etc. Please believe me this system is "dialed in". I have had many positive comments from people with good ears and even some that do not care for B&W's!
Here is my dilema, I am in a very large room (20X24). The speakers fall short at louder sound levels. Are a pair of N804's the answer? My budjet is limited to about $3K. Thanks in advance for the help.
