B&W PM1 with JL sub or 805D?

I am kicking around the idea of getting either a pair of PM1's with a JL F110 sub or just getting an 805D by itself. They come to about the same price, so that is not a factor. Will the JL sub be able to make up for the lower mid-range that the PM1 will be lacking compared to the 805? Lord knows it will certailnly be far better in the low end. Curious what others think.

I have listened to the Pm1's by themselves and they were great, very open high end, airy, and excellent with the mid/upper range. I don't have a way to audition the 805d's though.

Thanks, Jeff

Seems like it depends on the type of music you listen to. Is it Pink Floyd or small scale acoustic? Might make a difference.

I find it tough to find a good speaker with an awesome midrange and deep bass for under 10k used. The smaller speaker with a great midrange and a good sub is a good path in your price range. You might want to go with the D and later pick up a nice sub.
