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?

I heard the 805 signature at a dealer , and they didnt come
anywhere near the Sonus Faber Extrema i had at the time. Sure it is in another pricerange, so there should be a difference. However
I recently audioned The 802 Diamonds at the same dealer. They where SOOOOOOO good. The best I have heard period. Far better then the 802N or Extremas I used to own. Not saying the SF dont have any qualities( they are really good), or the old 802n is a bad speaker. The 802D to my ears, just exceled them both in every aspect.I even heard the 800N signature, and i didnt like them as mutch as the 802D... well, It could be just me.
