Interesting, is this the normal finish of Signature 805?

[JimTW]

Found it while doing google search...

[JimTW]

Here's another... kinda weird but interesting... like Tiger fur.

No, not standard finish. May be a special anniversary finish or one that was offered with the S series. Kind of unique.

[aphexist]

Actually, it's called Grey Tiger's Eye. The ruddy finish is called Red Bird's Eye. It was not a special finish for the Prestige Signature line.

I have seen same onces at local dealer 1.5years ago. Was letting it go for really good price as floor model.

HI All,
I think they are stunning as is the whole system. If I had the opportunity I would have bought them.

Beautiful looking speakers. I think you would have paid almost double the price of the standard 805s at the time to get hold of these.

Sparky,

Any ideas what that piece of equipment in the middle towards the
front with some tubes on it is? And why is it sitting on a few plates
of wood padding?

Tks!

[Karma]

HI Jim,
Don't know the amp. The wood may be used for decoupling from the floor but that's just a guess. Maybe it's there to make it look good. IMO, it works .

I LOVE Tiger's Eye finish.... imagine that on the 800!



STUNNING hi end speaker indeed! ;x(

I bow down.

Scottie,

Why is ur fever rising when u see SET amp with Sig 805?
Please explain? Newbie here.

Thanks!


Btw, that PAT 777 300B SET amp costs $25k!

since the Signature 805 aren't terribly efficient, i've always thought that a low wattage SET amp, such as the 7watt PAT-777, would not be a good match. but i do love that sweet 300B SET magic when paired with efficient speakers. the above show setup is inspiring me to be brave enough to ignore the specs and at least try. since i have a sub already, what do i have to loose?
8O :drool: :-y :sos: :crazy: :dance: :spin: :rollhead:

We can always count on Scott to come to the rescue :T

Scott, you should save up for new speakers man...hehe. I am still waiting for my stuff to arrive...it's such a pain waiting for my toys!!!!

How come that amp is only 7 watts? What's the equivalent number
of wattage per channel put out by that amp compared to regular
amps?

[scottielee]

hang in there Tony!!!
it sure is tough to save with this hobby :lol: i think i will never be able to save enough for my next speakers...

hi Jim,
there are many types of amplification such as push pull, single ended triode, output transformerless, transistor...all of which i am not knowledgeable enough to explain in detail. some output more wattage on paper than others, but what does that mean for our speakers? don't know for sure until we try!

Cool! So what speakers are you saving up for? I think you said somewhere
you've had these Sig 805s for about 2 years now and have been thoroughly
enjoying them? You have a sub with your system right? Is it well integrated?

[scottielee]

i am saving up for either Acapella Violon, Tannoy Westminster, TAD Model 1, or B&W Model Nautilus...8O :lol:

no doubt i love my Signature 805. they are not perfect, but enough for me to keep them forever. i also have a Velodyne DD-12. works for me :T check out my homepage for more info.

Thanks Scottie. You got mail.

The "Tiger's Eye" photos posted above are incredible. I decided to do a search myself and found the below link. Wow...I too would have chosen this finish had it been available at the time when I purchased my existing gear. Stunning!

Model Nautilus.......:drool:

if the price of the speakers don't scare you off, the price of 8 capable monoblock (or 4 stereo) amplifires just might.

the 25Hz - 20kHz ± 0.5dB frequency responce is pretty inpressive, and it continues down to 10Hz at -6dB!! needless to say there is no need for a seperate sub with those bad boys!
