Biggest Sound in the Littliest Box

Spendors are legendary for having a vast,open, soundstage...they really do have a deep, spacious quality to them...maybe not the best for extremely loud listening...but I would opt for accuracy and transparency over volume...they are one of the few box speakers that can compete with planars and stats...and they dont sound thin in the midrange....

what are you using as for an amp? The 3.3's will sound huge when you throw enough power at them.

I am currently running Classe CA-300.

Poorguy, B&W 805s are not my speakers for life, BUUUTTTT, that said, these diminutive units reward every upgrade I make. All the components in my system cost 2-3 times more than these speakers, including my cables.

With the right front end they are capable of BIG, detailed, harmonically rich orchestral sound. However, beware the front end that isn't up to the task.

Before you make a purchase. You absolutely MUST check out the PMC TB2's. 3 foot box with a 2.5 meter transmission line which offers lower bass extension. Speakers are also very neutral. Many of the the professional studios use PMC. The TB2 from what I hear were used for quality control on many motion pictures like Titanic and Independance Day. Check out there website link below under "user list" to see who also uses these speakers.
I was about to purchase a pair of B&W 805's and in my opinion these TB2 walked all over them, when I spent quite a few hours at my local dealer testing them both. I'm currently waiting for mine to arrive.
