B&W 805 Diamond vs 805 Siganture


Has anyone had a chance to directly compare these speakers? I love my 805S, but I am wondering if I should upgrade...

They still don't have bass but they are an improvement over the ones you have. If you really want to upgrade then step right past them to the 804D. From everything I have heard it is total knockout and has bass and the FST mid which is simply a superb driver not to mention the fact that in gloss black they are gorgeous!
I recently have had both speakers to include a pair of the 804S'. The 805 Di have a marked audible difference over the S's. Although not floor standing level bass transmission; enough to have happily let both of my 804 and 805s' go.

The bass drivers have been tweaked and when A/B'd- it's difficult to imagine their the same line of speaker. The Di is a plus and better when broken in- to remove the treble tizziness initially experienced.

Very detailed and slightly laid back but absolutely worth the price increase. I added a sub over the weekend that I returned promptly on Monday. Trust yours ears and good luck.
Thanks Jpbas. i just ordered a pair of 802Diamonds. They are replacing my Focal Alto's.
Enjoy your new speakers and let me know what you think...

Regards and good listening.
Talk2me enjoy your new speakers, but you will need a very good amp to reveal the beauty of your new speakers. They really like high current and high volumes.
