About the diamond tweeter... what they said to you might suggest they need to keep the 805 down at its current price level because they already have a new speaker planned (with diamond tweeter?) for the next rung of their price ladder. I wonder how far ahead they plan their new models? The lead times must be very substantial.
About the sound... there are so many variables involved in auditioning at our own homes and with our own systems, I'm never surprised that people disagree on the merits of one piece of equipment over another. I suppose the only way to really know if we are judging like-for-like is to listen to the same complete system, at exactly the same time and at the same place. But even then, everyone has a different listening "history" which will influence their opinions about whether the exact same sound is good or not-so-good.
What was it about the Signatures that you felt gave it the edge over the 805s?
