Is the B&W Signature 805 less harsh than the N805?


Some people here say that the N805's are not bright or harsh at all, but I have found that they are a bit unforgiving and harsh on the uppermids-treble and cause fatigue after a while because of the hot tweeter. I have Classe amplification and bel canto dac2, so I think electronics are not that bad, and they are not known for being bright or harsh. Do you think the Sig 805's tweeter is less harsh or bright than the plain N805's tweeter? or is it just about the same? I'm able to purchase the speakers via internet only, so audition is not possible. I'd appreciate any comments. Sorry if my English is not clear enough.

Thank you very much.
Regards from Argentina.

Maybe you should just try a different speaker(manufacture).Maybe a Reference 3 A MM de Capo i or something along the line. Sometimes it's just the speakers plain and simple.Maybe they aren't your cup of tea.Not saying they are bad speakers but just not the right speakers for you.

Good Luck!
