HELP - B&W Naut. 805's good music speakers?

I own, and revel in, the Revel M20s. I think they are one of the best, in the monitor category. I liked them much better than the 805s. Problem with monitors is the stands. Revel's stands are poor, as are just about all the other ones out there. The stand is a significant extension of your speaker, hence, an extension that, more times, than not, has deleterious effects on the speaker's sound. A major consideration, and major oversight, by most, (judging by what I've read in the 'gon) when considering stand quality. I use the Sistrum Monitor platform system. Pricey, but well worth it. Check out my reviews. Just something to keep in mind when going for monitors. That price of $1600-$1800 is impossible to do with quality stands. Quality speakers, yes, but whattaya place those babies on? peace, warren

I started building my system with two 805's for my fronts and loved the Nautilus series so much I upgraded to two 802's for the front, HTM1 for my center channel and use four 805's for my rears. I mated this with an REL Stentor III and the results were mind blowing (literally). The Nautilus line is incredible, not only is the sound amazing but the look of the Nautilus is unsurpassed in the industry (IMHO). I agree with mgattmch regarding the female vocalists - Norah Jones is great as is Dianna Krall, Basia, etc.

The signative 805s are significantly better than the N805s. I currently still own both versions. If u are considering the n805, give the signats a listen. The treble is cleaner and more detailed with better transients. The bass response is only marginally improved.
Take it for what its worth; what hifi, hifi choice, hifi+ echo the same opinion.

I second the comments about the 805 sig. The non-sig are fine but the sig are a huge step up. Clearer and more 3D imaging. It does not make sense that speakers that "look" basically the same can sound so different. I'm trying to decide between the 805 sig and the dynaudio 1.4...
