Hi,Originally posted by herotongtong
I was at Grahams Hi Fi in London Picking up some new stands for my 805S's and wanted some advice about speaker cableing and they basically told me to give the new 805s atleast a good 2-3 months breakin time before trying any new cableing.
I have had mine approx a month and the sound has definitly improved and they sound superb already :T
Cheers

hmmm full break-in on the N805's was claimed to be roughly 500 hours...and 100 - 200 hours for the initial break-in? ...people who owned Signature 805's might have better answers as the new S805's are based on the Signature 805, although the principals should be roughly the same on all Nautilus/Prestige/800 Series!?"...if it's too loud, you're too old!"Comment

So in theory it should be longer then?Originally posted by ti33erComment

I would imagine the same or possibly less time, as the new drivers are more efficient and probably not wound as tight at the factory as the Nautilus were? Signature owners will have the best hands-on answers IMO

The 805S speakers take almost double as long to break in as the signatures. I've had both pairs, and I almost sold the 805S's because I thought they sounded terrible. They took almost two weeks of 24/7 playing before they were listenable. I would say atleast 500 hours. About 300 before they really start coming alive. Don't give up hope. I think once they break in, you will be happy.Comment

Hi Rolex,
I guess the 804S is better than the 805S.Comment

Break-in kills me
It's true:
As much as the topic kills me, I'd have to agree. My 804S pair improved in a few days, and are they getting better... (or am I adapting?) hmmm...
Either way the results are actually clear.
-and yes, I certainly enjoy the 804S more than the 805S but I have a big room and listen at some crazy volumes, at moderate volumes they are very close.
they begin to seperate in performance at higher volumes.

These are the first photos of the new mini speaker with not one but two diamonds - said to be the new B&W signature look.

I picked up my new pair of 805(S) on Friday evening. It's true what everyone is saying about them sounding better than the N805's right out of the box. I ran them in for the entire weekend non stop. When I went to bed Friday night I put my CD player on repeat. When I got up Sturday morning I couldn't...07 February 2005, 15:45 Monday -
Hello all,
I'm looking for some feedback on the prospect of upgrading from 805 Signatures to B&W 802. I think what I'm most interested in are opinions around how different they sound, what types of music will sound better or worse on the 802, characteristics of the 805 Signature that...
