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

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

Premium you are paying is to much.Better alternatives eg.JM Lab Micro Utopia.Merlin TSM-MM OR MX perhaps?I went from CDM 1 NT to Revel M20's(better than Naut 805) and now ordered Merlin VSM-MM's.Also considered 805 Signatures but Just to expensive for what you getting.New 800 series due for release soon.If stuck on B&W perhaps wait for that.I believe there are better alternatives.

Keeping this in perspective, others have already covered that the differences between those two speakers is vast. There are some PDF downloads from B&W's web site that also highlight the differences.

As for the previous post, that is more of an opinion than fact, and that without any real evidence of experience. Nevertheless, opinion is part of this hobby.

IMO, if you have the opportunity to take the speakers home for a trial, do so.

(To my good friend Phil, I would have to throw the stone backwards to hit the Trentes ;) )

There are no facts in Audio,only opinions.Does your opinion make it a fact then ?Who says there is no experience on the matter at hand?I do agree take it home for a trial.Do it even better,take all my suggestions home for a trial.Please read the reviews on the suggestions,which are also not really facts but well informed opinions !

"Dr." Chris,

I belive that Audio is a large percent opinion, but not only.

Your reply plainly states, "Premium you are paying is to much...Better alternatives are...", that is said in the manner of fact rather than opinion.

As for your question "does my opinion make it fact?", what opinion(s) are you refering to in my post?

My statement about experience was directed to your comment of considering S805's but you didn't due to cost.

I agree on as many home trials as possible; synergy is very important.

Enjoy.
