    B&W stands for N805 and 805S the same?

    Hi, my brother has some N805 speaker stands that he is not using. I am going to buy some 805S very soon. Are the B&W stands for the N805 and 805S the same?

    The new ones are better. The soundstage is much deeper. The old ones sound flat and uninvolving in comparison.

      Thanks for the reply. But I was referring to the B&W stands not the speakers.

        Best bet would be to send B&W an email....

          I know, I was just being facetious. The stands look and work exactly the same. If your brother is unloading the stands for a discount, why would you want to shell out $600 for the same thing?

            Aphexist...that's why he's asking the question??

            Are the mounting holes the SAME between the two speakers N805 & 805S???

              Yup! When I auditioned the 805S I secured them with M6 bolts through holes in my homemade stands which accommodated the ones found in the pair of Nautilus 805 I own.

              The holes line up.

                  Just for completeness, here is the response I got from B&W:

                  "Thank you for your interest in B&W! Yes the new 805S speakers are the same
                  base dimensions as the Nautilus 805 and therefore the N805 stands will
                  indeed work for the 805S."

                    Comments: B&W 704 vs. N805
                    by bcgator
                    Hey gang,

                    Thought I'd throw some comments out, maybe spur a discussion. I started putting together a surround sound system earlier this year....added a set of maple B&W 704 (fronts) and HTM7 center to an older pair of ADS L570's (backs) to get myself started.

                    Well,...

                    Questions about Sig 805
                    by tboooe
                    Hi, I am curious if people here prefer the Sig 805 to the new 805S. I am considering getting one or the other.

                    Also, does the Sig use the same stands as the N805 and 805S? I can get a really good deal on these stands and was wondering if they would work with the Sig 805.

                    HI All,
                    I’m in the midst of an experiment. The HT system I am currently putting together is for my bedroom. It’s now mostly finished and I must say it sounds very good. Here is the essence of the experiment.

                    Can I use a good bookshelf speaker (the 805S) and a good subwoofer...

                    B&W Nautilus 805 vs 805S
                    by Charcoalbuddy
                    Hi all,

                    Can anyone tell me the difference between the Nautilus 805 and 805S?
                    I'm guessing that the 805S is just a newer version. What will I lose if I just get the N805? Sorry if this has been covered before but I can't find any information regarding the differences. I think the...
