from B&w 805's to Usher be-718 - what to expect?


i'm thinking about "side-grading" to the be-718 because I'm interested in a different sound

what can i expect if i make the switch from 805s to be-718?

my components consist of a peachtree nova and mcintosh 7100, 100wpc

other suggestions are appreciated too

Big downgrade.

The 718 are highly overrated.

I had a pair here for a couple weeks; drove them with a pair of highly regarded Class A solid state amps as well as Class D amps.

Chalk on a chalkboard. Much too analytical and clinical for my ears.

Stay with the 805; they are the lesser of 2 evils.

IMO
