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

[tboooe]

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.

Great, thank you Pieter.

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."
