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!

Yes. The Focal JMLab Micro Utopia Be is better. -

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.Comment

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. :TComment

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.In the end, let YOUR ears and YOUR wallet be your guide.Comment

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).Beauty is in everything but not seen by everyoneComment

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.....Originally posted by perato
Using the impressive Scan Speak 7100 tweeter.
Totally different league than the 805S. Which is a very good speaker for the money.Comment

I am a new owner of the 805S's and the dedicated stands which look superb. The sound I am achieving is awesome in my small 12'6" x 10'6" room. :T I have scaled down to these from SF Electa Amators, SF Guarneri Homage and JM Lab 927Be's. The 805's do a better job than all three of these.... -
For info - Hi-Fi Choice have just reviewed the 805S. Another positive review of the 800 Series - overall score is 91%.
"Pro - B&W's latest 805S goes several steps beyond its predecessor. This delightful little speaker makes you want to tap your feet and sing along.

Are the 805s really the best stand mount speakers in the world?? I want to upgrade from my 602 s3´s but I don´t know if it´s worth paying that extra??
Can someone give me some advice please? :T -
HI All,
I’m in the midst of an experiment. The HT system I am currently putting together is for my bedroom. It’s now mostly finished and I must say it sounds very good. Here is the essence of the experiment.
Can I use a good bookshelf speaker (the 805S) and a good subwoofer... -
Hi, I am wondering does the new 805Di use the same stand as the 805S or N805? As I know, 805S and N805 stand are the same.
thx
