    Going from 805S to 803S a huge jump??

    Ok I found someone that I can meet up to pick up a pair of 803S for a good price and they are barely 5-6 months old!

    Originally I was looking at the 803D's but that price is just out of my range and I found someone locally so no shipping involved! :T

    So do you guys think how much of a difference or huge difference will there be from me to jump from the 805S to the 803S?

      How many 805/803S are you going to run concurrently? Couldn't this question be covered in one of the other TWO threads you have going on ths?

        Too bad you backed out on the deal. You don't see too many 803S for sale.

          I wished I could hear the 803S and 803D side by side to make my decision.. I've heard the 803D and I'm afraid that once I hear the 803S I'd be disappointed.

                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.

                803S and MC205
                by cneal007
                I've spent years building an amp collection for my home system and just had an epiphany. If I get a MC205 my 4 boxes turn into 1 box. My wife it happier therefore I am happier. I want to believe that 200W per channel is more than enough to power the 803S fronts, 805S surrounds, and a Monitor Audio...

                Ok big dilemma for me brand new 804S or used 803S?
                by jjahshik32
                Sorry about all these attack of the threads.. but as you guys noticed that I make alot of threads when the decision time comes..

                I guess warranty is what I'm looking at and seems to me that the 804S is exactly the same in specs as the 803S just that the 803S has a bigger cabinet, .5"...

                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.

                Can I use a good bookshelf speaker (the 805S) and a good subwoofer...
