B&W 805 models...

I guess the one on the B&W website is the newest model that is called '805S'.

First of all, what could be the S stands for? Standard? Signature?

Is '805S' = 'Signature 805'?

What are the different models such as matrix 805, signature 805, nautilus 805, 805S etc..., and which is oldest, older, newer, newest, etc...

Pescolar, the Signature 805 is no longer current. They do not make any of the models listed except the 805S. Every model has it's own unique set of technology. Fife hit it dead on.

Is the 805S better than or equal to the 805 signature?

"Is the 805S better than or equal to the 805 signature?"

Depends on who you ask. I've owned both. Both did things that I liked. My preference, I liked the sig 805 better. The 805S is still a fantastic speaker. Alot of people disagree with me. I think partly because most want to like the new stuff out there.
