Bottom Line: Love them. Sweet sound. I have read the other reviews about bass lacking in these speakers. I don't know what they are talking about. My 805's put out so much bass, I don't need my subwoofer (M & K V-125). I have just bid on a second pair on EBAY. Perhaps it's the equipment I am using that is causing them to perform so well.
Sunfire Theatre Grand I Processor
Sunfire Theatre Grand 200 x 5 amplifier (200 watts per channel)
Sony 999ES CD Player
Monster Power Conditioner
Audio Quest Rocket 33 speaker wire
B & W 805 speakers
I got my B & W 805's on EBAY with speaker stands for $1500.
Buy them!

Bottom Line: Just bought them used online based solely on the good reviews on the internet and 5 stars on what hi-fi. My previous (or current, because these aren't going to stay) speakers are Dynaudio Contour S3.4. I have been having a hard time finding decent surround speakers for the Dynaudios so when i found 5 pcs of B&W's for a good price i jumped on it.
From the first moment I heard them I've really really tried to like them, but they're just too tinny and light.
Today when listening to Stairway to Heaven it sounded like the hi-hats overwhelmed the guitar. The snares and the toms lack punch my Dynaudios have, they only have the "tschh"
On certain kinds of music they do work and they might be decent enough in their own price range, but when I've heard better, I just can't stand these speakers. Unnaturally bright.

Bottom Line: I listened a lot of bookshelf speakers, but this one from B&W is a wonderful choice. I know it all depends on the electronics you´re matching to, so in my system, these speakers shine in all areas, higs, mid and low extensions. It doesn´t fatigue my ears, even when I´m listening for hours. I know it was a expensive choice, but for the pleasure it gives me, it worth.

Bottom Line: Great speakers, sounds in all tone area exellent.
Low, mid and high tone area is equally present.
Although expensive I think for this size speakers there are no speakers doing better, I listened a lot in HI-FI shops before I chose this ones .
