B&W 805 vs 805S

[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?

I currently own Rotel RSX1057 and plan to use 805/805S as the main speakers with SVS PB-12 plus subwoofer.

Thanks much.

Also... can someone add what year did the N805 come out and when did the 805S start shiipping... That would add a couple to 5 years??? in the equation ...

thanks
