B&W 804: Big improvement over 704?


I recently bought at Sim integrated amp and am now looking to upgrade my B&W 704 speakers. Are the B&W 804S speakers a significant improvement? I've enjoyed the 704s a lot but I find them to be somewhat harsh, so am looking for something less so, and more musical.

the 704s are definitely an aggressive speaker in the high end. The 804s will give you a more balanced sound, but are still prone to sounding bright if the electronics lean that way. As someone who's been wedded to the B&W brand for a long time, I'd suggest being really sure you want to stay with them since you are at a point of making a change.
