Is it worth changing from B&W N805 to the 805S?


What should I expect if I replace my Nautilus 805 for the 805S? would be significant upgrade?

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks guys. Honestly I would not be interested on the 805D (if they were to exist) as they would be much more expensive than the 805S I guess.

As you now, the main criticism to the N805 is often related to bright highs, and I tend to agree with that perception, basically that's why I'm looking to upgrade to the 805S, hoping that these have a little more gently highs.

Any other comments will be appreciated. Thanks
Hi, I have both 805n used in stereo. then changed to 5.1 and bought 805s with htm 4 for center and the asw 825 to complete speakers. I really would be pressed to say there is much difference in the 2 models, except for the highs, just a bit brighter. I like both models very much. They do look slightly different. less steel on tweeters rear tube on s model, and the tweeter center cone is smaller s models. Over all size is the same. And the stands work for both models. Good luck
To answer your question, undoubtedly yes. But to sit around and wait for an 805D is silly, it is not going to happen. Anyway, if it did you could easily upgrade through a dealer or sell them here and get into something new. B&W's sell incredibly well on the used market.
