The N805s are well ahead of the CDM7 NTs in the mid highs, imaging, detail, etc. But you need stands for them. I had the opportunity to compare them on an audio shop. I upgraded from CDM1 NTs to the N805s.
Whatever bass the N805s produce is very tight, focused and does not go below what they cannot render properly. A sub would be a nice addition depending on your room and your music tastes. I am thinking of getting one but they sound Ok in my small to mid size room. People here rave about the integration with the Rel Strata III. Hope this helps.
