i haven't heard the Essence, but I have 805's and if you're into honey smooth mids/crystal clear highs, you cannot go wrong with 800 series
with proper amplification, vocals are SO smooth and airy, imaging and soundstage is off the charts if placed properly
the only thing you might need is a subwoofer, if you're into bass that is.. for a small room, i think the bass they provide is fine
