The 805's are controversial speakers. Some find them bright and fatiguing. Others think they are accurate. I don't think that anyone would call them forgiving. Decide for yourself. Listen to the 805's with gear comparable to what you are going to use. Bring some of your harsher sounding music and DVD's.

I am looking for 5 mini/monitor speakers for a small high-end home theater setup. The speakers I have thought of are B&W 805, Legacy Studio, Sonus Faber Concerto, and the new Mobile Fidelity OML-1.
I am a curent B&W owner and this is the 805 only speaker on the list I can listen to locally. I'm wondering if anyone else has had the opportunity to compare any of these speakers or has other recommendations. I want to stay under $2K/pair.
