            I bet most "NORMAL" non-audiophiles/Non-Audio Enthusiasts would not even notice a difference in sound quality and looks.

              My Pocket Rocket; A High Performance 805S Based Alternative
              by Karma
              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.

              Upgrading from 805S to 803S
              by texasbwfan
              Good Morning,

              It may be time for my 805S to go. My new home has a significantly larger family room with ceilings that are 16 ft. tall. The room is also twice as big as the room in my former home. As you can imagine, the 805S are having difficulty providing enough sound for the space....

              Comparison: 805S to Nautilus 805
              by Pieter
              I’m breaking in a brand new pair of 805S’ I’ve got on demo from a local dealer. Been itching to compare them to the Nautilus 805s that have seen service in my room for the past 16 months.

              Set the 805S’ up on stands last night, did not change location or positioning from the Nautilus...

              AV recievers driving 805s
              by Darc
              Hi all,

              I am currently in the process of buying my first HT and stereo system. My plan at present is below.

              My budget at this stage only allows me to buy a set of quality front speakers and an AV reciever and possibly a good quality sub at present (therefore, no surround...
