    Are 805 Matrix speakers worth anything?

    Hi, I'm not very familiar with home theater equipment but my father used to be obsessed with it. He gave me a pair of old B&W 805 Matrix speakers and apparently they're very nice speakers. I don't really have the space for them right now and would rather have the money if they're worth anything. Any advice would help, thanks.

    I was thinking about buying the new 805's and I hear that the B&W 805 matrix are good speakers. Everyone here seems to go for the new models (N805 and 805s). What finish are they, do you have the boxes or manuals, and did any other equipment come with them?

    I may be interested in buying them. Feel free to drop me an email.

      B&W 805 vs 805S
      by sskim
      I'm new to B&W speakers but am looking to purchase used 805 or 805S. First question, is there significant difference between 805 and 805S? If anyone can describe the difference in detail I would greatly appreciated it. And if 805S is indeed superior then what should be its premium over the 805?...

      B&W Nautilus 805 vs 805S
      by Charcoalbuddy
      Hi all,

      Can anyone tell me the difference between the Nautilus 805 and 805S?
      I'm guessing that the 805S is just a newer version. What will I lose if I just get the N805? Sorry if this has been covered before but I can't find any information regarding the differences. I think the...

      I have had a set of Nautilus 805's that I bought new about a year ago, my buddy got a set of 805S's and thought we would do a side by side comparsion of the two one day. We had everything hooked up to a Classe CA-201 amp, HK AVR520 pre-amp, Denon DVD-1920 dvd-player, and Rotel RCC-1055 CD changer all...
