Not exactly your question but I had the 805D and went back to the 805N. Actually I ran. I have not heard the PM1 but the only criticism I have read is that it lacks a hint of high end detail. That might be a benefit of the 805S.
B&W 805 Signature vs PM1 & 805D
I used to own a pair of the 805 Sigs in Red Birds Eye, and circumstances pushed me into selling them years back, but always regretted losing them. A few pairs of speakers later, I now own the B&W PM1 which I love. But I have a chance to pick up a pair of mint 805 Sigs (not locally), which I can use in another system, and I'm just wondering if anyone here has compared them side by side with the PM1 or even the 805D.
I'd love to grab these 805 Sigs, but also wondering if the trip down memory lane won't be as fulfilling as I'm hoping - if the 805 Sigs were great when compared to B&W's speakers of 10 years ago, but maybe wouldn't compare as well to today's models. You know how that goes...sometimes we can build things up in our memories, but the reality doesn't match up as technology advances.
I did search through old threads, and there have been plenty of 805Sig vs. 805S threads, but couldn't find anything 805Sig vs. PM1 or 805D. Thanks in advance.
