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,

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 !
To Dr Ken and Brian
Thanks

"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.
No question the sig. is better than the nautilus line. I own both currently. I must say that Dr. Chris needs to lighten up. These forums get to heated with opinions. The fact is the sig. is better than the nautilus and then only the buying individual can decide between brands.

B&W is going to offer a $2500 version of the 805 SIG shortly. It will be offered in several "Standard" cabinet finishes only. I think this will make it one heck of a good deal.
How do I know---can't say, but watch for it towards the end of November.
FWIW I prefer the Sig 805 to the rather bright Revel M20 though they were nice. I prefer my Trentes to either and have read they better the Merlins and several other highly touted speakers too. The B&W sound is not quite my taste but for those it is PARTY ON.

I think Dr Chris comments are well meaning though slightly redundant as most of us have a decent head on our shoulders, I wonder if there is a slight language barrier between South Africa and the states?
