B&W N 805 vs. N 805 Sig. Opinions?


Are the sig 805's really that much better than the regular 805s. I hate paying for just cosmetics.

Thanks,

The N805 signature is much better than the regular N803 (not 805). The tweeter is super detailed and more neutral.

They are so much better they are within a stones throw of my JM Reynaud Trentes :)
I can assure you that you are not just paying for cosmetics. I've had both in my room. There are drastic differences between the two. The signature uses a different cabinet, different woofer, different tweeter, different crossover, and different speaker terminals. It is much more open, detailed, and transparent than the N805. The bass is significantly better on the signatures.
I have to agree with the two previous posts. The Signature
805's are in a different league. The N805 is a great
speaker in its own right but the S805 takes those strenghts
and builds on them. If you can afford the S805 I would
not hesitate to buy it. I have been enjoying my pair for
over 5 months now and have no regrets about my purchase.

Good luck
