B&W N 805 vs. N 805 Sig. Opinions?

Keeping this in perspective, others have already covered that the differences between those two speakers is vast. There are some PDF downloads from B&W's web site that also highlight the differences.

As for the previous post, that is more of an opinion than fact, and that without any real evidence of experience. Nevertheless, opinion is part of this hobby.

IMO, if you have the opportunity to take the speakers home for a trial, do so.

(To my good friend Phil, I would have to throw the stone backwards to hit the Trentes ;) )

"Dr." Chris,

I belive that Audio is a large percent opinion, but not only.

Your reply plainly states, "Premium you are paying is to much...Better alternatives are...", that is said in the manner of fact rather than opinion.

As for your question "does my opinion make it fact?", what opinion(s) are you refering to in my post?

My statement about experience was directed to your comment of considering S805's but you didn't due to cost.

I agree on as many home trials as possible; synergy is very important.

Enjoy.

Dr. Chris,

I have always been of the opinion that one is paying a certain price for the pretty finish of the S805, I am ok with that, but let us wait and see if there is a $2500 version of the S805, I find this hard to believe; in fact it doesn't make sense as the N805 is $2500, time will prove one way or the other.

Dr. Chris,

No worries, I did not see your last post in a negative light. I still am suspect that B&W will have this 'new' 805 for $2500 and it being essentially an S805 without the nice finish.

Maybe my last comments were not to clear, I am saying that I find it hard to believe B&W will make such a speaker for $2500.

(I had a friend correct me and state that the N805 is $2K.)
