    804S x 803S

    Hey folks, How´re doing all right?

    Well I´ve bought the 804S, but the delivery time is growing, and makes me think about the possibility to get immediately the model 803S.

    I´d like to hear your opinions about the diferences of 804S and 803S. I know that the 803S have much more bass and body than the 804S. But about the highs and mids how could compare with 804S? Are they exactly like the 804S (clear, smooth, not harsh etc...)?

    Thanks in advance.

    Pedro,

    The 803s has more bass, but some will argue the bass of the 804s is a bit tighter. The 803s has a fuller mid range (probably because of the bigger box).

    I found the 803s to make a better front speaker, but either will do nicely as a rear.

    If you do a search of "+803s +804s", you will find some threads with lots of good info.

    Regards,
    Darrell

      by wywong
      Hi

      Help need for a B&W set-up (803S, 804s, sub?, amp?)
      by sn7
      I am planning on gradually building a good B&W based system. I have a big room (25' x 15' x 12'). I will be using it for 50% movies and 50% music. I do not ramp up my volume too high. I would like to have a good cinema surround feel and still enjoy the clarity in my music.

      I am planning...

      803S - personal review
      by Zoran
      This is my first full review of any product after approx. 15 or so years audiophilia behind, so it’s natural I want to share my impressions with audio fellows exactly over here on Htguide forum – IMO the most qualified place today to talk about B&W as consumer.

      There are...

      Do B&W 804s have good bass?
      by mr_m687
      Just wondering if this accurate speaker has a good amount of rich satisfying bass. Listening in a store it sounds kind of weak no deep sound. Anyone experience better lower end in a home setting?

      My Impressions: 804S, Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grand, Martin Logan Ascent
      by tboooe
      Hi, so I am in the market for some new floorstanders as an upgrade to my recently sold 805S. I have already budgeted money for either the 804S or 803S. While auditioning both I also listened to some other speakers, just to make sure I truly wanted to stay with B&W. Of course there are many other...
