    705 as surrounds with 803D and HTM2D?

    Hi All,

    Any views on the acoustic match of the 705's as surrounds for a system anchored by 803Ds (front) and HTM2D center? Thanks in advance. I know that 805's are more commonly matched with the 803D's but their price tag is pretty high for surround channels.

    Thanks in advance.

    hi indiebands,

    I have the 803D and Htm2D for front, the 805S are for the surround...

    now in switzerland I can have a 705 NEW at hlaf price..and I have the same idea:
    replace the 805S with a 705. the 805S i go use for a extra stereo system or
    to make a 7 channels system...
    the 705 will be discountinued but is a very good speaker: the CM5 will be too a good chioce but mouch more expensive vs. the 705 in "very specias price"!!


    for the "match2 the 805 are sure much better but a 705, new for 50% price
    is not every day available.

      Thanks, style. That's great feedback. I heard the 705s this week and was pretty impressed, though I have yet to hear the 805s. I like the sound of special price for surround channel speakers. How much are they in CHF after the discount? Thanks.

        Help with B&W 802D / 803D & matching equipment?
        by KentF
        Hello, I am new to all this high end stuff but I want to get a really good setup for Home Theater and Music. I am thinking 5.1 is good enough for now.

        What do I need to drive either of these and what else should I get to go with them?

        805s + Htm2d
        by mtlr
        Hi all, first post. I heard it is important to have a good center for home theater. I was thinking will the HTM2d overwhelm the (4) 805s?

        Musings on trying out the 705 and 805
        by hired goon
        G'day,

        So I went to a the local B&W dealer tonight, and performed some serious auditions on the 805, mainly testing out the lower end. It's good, better than I thought, but not quite perfect. However, I reckon the imaging, detail, and openness of the 805s more than compensate for...
