B&W Signature 805 vs 802 D???


Is there any sonic advantage of the smaller monitor signature 805 over the full range 802D?

I am wondering if the Signature 805 offers more precise imaging and soundstaging than a full range speaker could.

Any thoughts?

How frustrating to type a nice reply and then bump refresh!

I made this exact change. If your amp and room are up to it, I find the 802D's better in every way. I liked the advantages of the 802D's in my system but I felt they could improve with more power, I have a good size room, so I switched amps and this helped a lot.

If I couldn't of switched amps, what would I have prefered? Good question. Once hearing what the 802D's added it would of been hard to go back, although I liked my previous set up a lot.

I suggest if you can't take 802D's home, take your amp and S805's to the dealer.
