Is there a better stand mount speaker than 805s?

Is there a better stand mount speaker than 805s???? I want strong vocals and a nice clean and detailed tweeter! I have the bass power! ASW 750!

[chuck1801]

Yes. The Focal JMLab Micro Utopia Be is better.

[audioqueso]

No, there is not!!!! :B

There are many, many better speakers than the 805S. Now, if you want a speaker that is better but still at 2500 dollars retail, then you may not find better, it's all personal preference.

I just love my 805s, there probably is a better stand mount speaker out there somewhere but, for me it’s the 805s. The highs are just exceptional, tons of research went in to design of the tweeters. They sound and look great. :T

There are other speaker manufacturers that make more expensive bookshelf speakers. The most expensive, I think, is the Wilson Duette which is US$10,000/pair. Other manufacturers that make expensive (>US$2,000/pair) bookshelf speakers are RBH/Status Acoustics, PSB, Canton, Dynaudio, et al.

I agree, not many in that range. I like the SF Guarnaris myself...

My dealer can't give these away... he is trying to move a full krell 5.1 speaker package close to cost and noone is interested...

No...

I had Guarneri's but prefer the 805S's in a small room. The Guarneri bass end can be a bit woolly and that's with a big amplifier (250wpc).

Actually the Duette is 11K USD.... Without stands. The top of the line I'm aware of is the Magico Mini. A cool 22K USD.....

Using the impressive Scan Speak 7100 tweeter.

Totally different league than the 805S. Which is a very good speaker for the money.

And B&W will be putting out an 805D in the near future...
