I just started a thread in the audio hideout section on DVD videos, however I also wanted to share my experience with B&W owners. I am a relatively new owner of a pair of 804s speakers and recently they have been shining particularly brightly, I just luv 'em.
I have been watching/listening to Martin Scorsese's Blues Collection, particularly "Red White and Blues' recorded at Abbey Road Studios. Jon Cleary's piano improvisation and some of the other extras sound particularly amazing. The extras were recorded in stereo (film is in 5.1) but the piano sounds like it is in the room to the left of the left speaker and forward intothe room. Amazing 2 channel sound staging. I had to get up to make sure my rear speakers were not working. Other tracks also have very convincing depth behind the speakers. I have heard some depth and width from my old 705 and more recently from the 804s but never as convincing as this particularly recording.
Many people say that the bigger 800s have amazing width and depth to the sound, I can confirm that the 804s are also very capable in that regard. Excellent speakers B&W !!!!!
