The N803 or 803S is a better all-around Speaker then the 805 unless your room is too small to accommodate a floor-stander. Stereophile Magazine gave the Nautilus 803 a "Class A Rating" back in 2001. This is a very good Speaker, and in my experience gives you much of what the larger 800 Series Speakers have to offer.
B&W N803 or Signature 805?
This is my 2nd posting as my first somehow didn't come out.
I am well aware that this is an unfair comparison with the N803 being a floorstand and the S805 as a standmound. However, if given the opportunity, which would you choose? I am looking to upgrade my Sonus Faber Grand Pianos to either one of the two mentioned as I preferred the B&W house sound more than the former.
I would be most grateful if anyone who had heard both speakers would chime in and give your opinions. I currently have deals on both speakers and a purchase would be imminent.
