Some of you guys are trying to use "a live performance" as a yardstick to measure or categorize the quality of sound reproduced by a speaker. I for one have never liked most "live" performances. The accoustics in most halls, amphitheatres, outdoors, clubs etc. stinks! The background noise, itself detracts from the quality. A good studio recording is difficult to reproduce live. There are very few recordings of live performances that do justice to a good band. Pink Floyds "Pulse" live in Europe is one of the few, and there are others. Also, we all have differences in musical tastes, and there are physiological differences to our ears themselves, and of course our brains are all wired differently, so this argument about speaker quality seems awfully strange. I personally love my BW N803's, but I think the N805 is much too bright, and the lower line of BW is more suited to HT, but not critical listening.
My 2 cents.
