    805s + Htm2d

    Hi all, first post. I heard it is important to have a good center for home theater. I was thinking will the HTM2d overwhelm the (4) 805s?

    Just might. The 2d was made to go with the 800, 801, 802 and 803D. The Htm4s is the speaker that will be most compatible.

      Yes.. Listen to some music (baritone voice or cello would be good) on a pair of 805s and a pair of 804s.. you will immediately hear the difference. Those floorstanders and their counterparts in center channel speakers are a big step up.. the bass extension and fullness in the sound you get is worth it. Rather than an HTM2D, maybe spending on some 804s and an HTM3s would make more sense.. then you can use the extra pair of 805s for rear surrounds (a 7.1 system.)

        805S + REL Sub or 804S?
        by tboooe
        Hi, I have the 805S and was thinking about adding a REL Strata sub. The price for this combo is pretty similar to that of the 804S. So my quesiton is whether or not I should just skip the 805S + Sub combo and go directly to the 804S? Will the 804S still require a sub? Does the 805S + Sub sound as...

        805S w/ ASW825 or 804S?
        by texasbwfan
        Question,

        I'm about to pull the trigger on another speaker purchase. My current system consists of the following:

        (2)805s
        HTM3S
        ASW825

        I'm undecided on which direction I will go next. Should I buy a second set of 805S and a second ASW825 or...

        Amplification for B&W 804S, HTM3
        by lawoftrust
        Dear all,

        I consider adding a HTM3 and 805S to my current 804S. Usually I am a Naim addicted but I will not buy an AV2, NAP 175 Amplification (at least not now) but I considered Rotel for the time being appropriate. Would an Rotel RSX 1057 be acceptable for the time being. My main interest...

        B&W 800 History Pricing
        by Race Car Driver
        I think there needs to be a sticky thread showing this history of the 800 series pricing. Now I dont remember or have all the models/prices/dates so feel free to contribute. If I am wrong, feel free to correct me. I will start with the Nautilus series.

        by tboooe
        Hi, so I am in the market for some new floorstanders as an upgrade to my recently sold 805S. I have already budgeted money for either the 804S or 803S. While auditioning both I also listened to some other speakers, just to make sure I truly wanted to stay with B&W. Of course there are many other...
