    B&W805s (SOLD)

    Hello pals,

    Any one interested to buy my new B&W805s in rosewood finishes, unpacked and still with factory seals. Warranty already registered in the B&W website.
    This 805s was purchased wrongly when my friend was at UK last month. I supposed to ask him to buy the 805 signature model, instead he bought the 805s..

    Willing to sell at a lost. New price in Singapore is selling S$5045.00 p/set.Thanks for reading

    Tro,

    Just so you know:
    1) The 805S sound better than the 805 Signatures (especially the treble) and are rated as better by B&W - so you may want to keep them...
    2) If you don't want to keep them, then try a post in the Pawnshop forum here - which is where you are supposed to put items for sale....

      Tro, S$4,000 is about the price of new 805S after 10% discount you normally get anyway. Care to part for less?

            Hey hertontong, maybe that's what you were on about with your 55% nonsense - give him 55% of what he is asking (he he he).

              Yeah, and a good chance that Tro wasn't trying to sell 700 series :lol:

                Guys, stop pulling my legs...I am sincerely to sell away my NEW 805s. No joke at all. Frankly speaking, I have 2 sets with me now. I will keep one set for my self and the other set for sales..
                Maybe, you have a sincere buyer, maybe can you recommend them to me? :T
                Bought from LEICESTER HI FI CO in ST MARTIN SQUARE/UK ;x(

                  Tro....try the pawn shop here, or try www.audiogon.com

                  Herotongtong, why you laughing? This is pretty close to the nonsense response that you post all the time.

                    Tro,
                    Dont mean to soud like an as* here. If you want to relieve your 'extra' pair maybe you have to be realistic. 805S listed price is USD2,500. I know in Singapore (I often visit there and been to B&W dealers there as well) and in Bangkok, the dealer can give 10% off. May just a bit more with manager's approval to make the number nice and round.

                    USD2,500 less 10% = USD2,250 x 1.68 (Singapore Dollar) = S$3,780.00

                    I think you suffered more because you bought them in UK where it appears to be most expensive. But if you want to sell it in our part of the world then you may have to be flexible.

                    Just a thought...

                            B&W 805 vs 805S
                            by sskim
                            I'm new to B&W speakers but am looking to purchase used 805 or 805S. First question, is there significant difference between 805 and 805S? If anyone can describe the difference in detail I would greatly appreciated it. And if 805S is indeed superior then what should be its premium over the 805?...

                            G'day,

                            From the first time I heard them, I've always been keen on getting a pair of 805s. I'd be using these as fronts as my budget won't stretch to the 804, 803, etc.

                            Anyway, I was wondering how 805 owners here rate the 805s for home theatre. I've only auditioned the 805...

                            Hi All,

                            I was able to compare to the S805 vs the 805S last week and I have a question regarding the Sig 805 voicing. First of all, they are different, 1) mid/wof is diff, 2) tweeter is diff, 3) box a little diff 4) flow port is diff. 5) they sound diff. The first thing that jumps out...

                            I have had a set of Nautilus 805's that I bought new about a year ago, my buddy got a set of 805S's and thought we would do a side by side comparsion of the two one day. We had everything hooked up to a Classe CA-201 amp, HK AVR520 pre-amp, Denon DVD-1920 dvd-player, and Rotel RCC-1055 CD changer all...
