B&W 805S vs. Usher BE718


Hello guys;
I would like to use either of these speakers with the Krell S-300I. My room is a typical medium to large family room that is medium bright and opens up to the kitchen.
I was hoping I can get some feedback from anyone who have used these speakers as to which ones they preferred. I live in Miami and most hi-end audio stores have left so I have to depend on the reviews & blogs in helping me decide. I listen to all types of music (except country :-).
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Neilspeed,

I use the 805s in my bedroom system [nearfield] and have heard, like EVERYONE else by now, the Usher BE 718...
Really no contest imo; the 805's give music of a whole, presented naturally with no undue emphasis.
The sound is smoother, not shouting at you with the harsher tones from the Usher
Started this hobby with a Krell 150 so i think you will be most pleases .

good luck!
