I've heard both, and I ultimately went with the Def Tech STS's. They're much more of an all-purpose speaker, which I need, as I'm running a combination music/HT second system. Never very impressed with B&Ws in general.
Well, I'm not a big fan of either. I prefer the B&W CM9 to the 804s and it's substantially cheaper. But, of those two choices, I would definately go with the B&W 804S. No contest. The B&W is more accurate and is much more of a music speaker. Def Tech has always been a home theater speaker company. Their speakers are voiced for that market.
