Wow, after 5 weeks of research and going to 3 different audio stores I had my heart set on N804 (used) and then I came home, popped in Nora Jones, plugged in my Polk LS70's, (9 years old but less than 30 hours of use, $1,100 a pair floor speakers) and gave them a good listen and guess what they sound pretty damn good!?!?
I guess only a side-by-side will resolve this but not possible so can someone please convince me that the 804's are that much better? I'd hate to buy them , bring them home and find out that I like the Polk's better. Maybe I'm just not a high end speaker dude? I'm 29 with still a good set of ears so I thought I could more easily discern a difference but I'm having a hard time!!! Fortunately within these 5 weeks, I now can tell that Bose isn't too good, but I'm still having a hard time with the 804 vs my Polks.
