Piano on the 805’s sound so real to life. Eyes closed and there is the piano in the room, every time... Amazing speakers. I am mesmerised by them, what can I say, and they’re beauties to look at!
Coming back to this video to say thank you. When I was shopping for new speakers, several months ago, B&W wasn't on my list. Your videos, with this particular speaker, caused me to give them a listen in person. Having owned them, for several months now, I'm still amazed by them. So, thank you!
Sono felice di rivederti con i tuoi video e la tua magnifica musica. Sono anche felice che l'Italia stia tornando alla normalità dopo tanta sofferenza, congratulazioni.
I swear you read my mind Sommelier. I was going to suggest you play the recent March release of Kandace Springs 'The Women Who raised me". Besides Solitude, her cover of "Pearls" (Sade), and "You got a Spell on me" are fantastic. Keep serving that find musical wine, we are intoxicated by it. Thank you.
The equipment is beautiful. The music selection was too slow to really hear more bass. However as you panned to the camera towards the other speakers & components I was in music paradise. State of the art systems: A definite 👍 yes..!
Can I respectfully request: "It wouldn't have made any difference" by Allison Kraus on a B&W 803/804 with Musical Fidelity M8Xi or McIntosh Hybrid Amp. Thanks and more power to you and your uploads.
q. did you consider pairing the nu-vista cd with the nu-vista 800? (note: would really like to hear these 805's with this combo) cheers - btw the Michi units do work well - the recently announced X3 & X5 look like stellar value - no doubt we'll hear them very soon!
Complimenti per il set up da sogno....ma ho una domanda: le B&W 805 hanno un range di potenza raccomandata da 50 a 120W e qui le vedo collegate al bellissimo Ampli MICHI con ben 500W in 8 Ohm.... non si rischia di danneggiarle? Grazie. Buona serata.
Completely different sound signatures. Adante has a beautiful muscular reproduction with lot of slam and fullness but unrefined highs. 805 has unbelievable details and tridimensionality but does not forgive poor recordings at all
@@margix1172 metallica can sound good on even highend speakers, and thats the point to buy those speakers to have a pleasure listen too your favorite music No matter what taste
IMO, the last great 805 was the 805S with Kevlar woofer and aluminum dome Nautilus tweeter. Each succeeding generation has gotten more sucked out in the midrange and brighter on top, to the point of being fake sounding and unlistenable. The 805S was much more balanced and natural sounding, and wasn't trying too hard to sound "Hi-Fi".
Hi, have you had the opportunity to compare the 805 D3 and the 805S side by side? I ask you this because your opinion is out of the ordinary, as I read enthusiastic reviews/opinions of the 805 D3, on the contrary the 805S have never enjoyed great fame, furthermore the 805S, given the data in hand, are more difficult to drive. My 805 D3s fly with just 30 watts of the Accuphase A-30 and for me they are a point of no return.

Update?
@@mr.potatofries8094 I still have them. No regrets with the purchase.
Beautiful song Sound Sommelier.
You really show what this speaker can do.

Just bought these spekaers in satin white! My end speakers...
Preciosa voz tridimensional. Gracias por volver , te echaba mucho de menos y esas pruebas con bistecs no me terminaban de convencer.
seriously need to share your playlist! thanks!
Agreee!!!
Agree also
me too.
Glad to see you back, hope you didn’t suffer to much the constraints.
Awsome speakers, people seldom pair them with the right equipment.
Realistic sound, congrats!

❤🎉 love it en hoop win it for reclame België
I wonder if you're ok with COVID19 situations... Glad to see you again Sommelier!

Do you find the Michi is best for the 805s. I own these and use a Parasound Hint 6 with two Rel T7x. Thanks
Which one would you prefer driving 805D3 and why? McIntosh MC302, Mark Levinson 532H, or Classe CA-2300?
The start of high end. Sounds effortless. In a treated room could sound more real....
Waw! Very like

Great video. Did you try them with that prima Luna amp back there? How’s the match?

805 d3 or beolab 18 which has better overall sound?
Love reveling speakers, soft speakers are a bit boring to me.
Arent we listening to our speakers ??
What is your volume level?
Please compare b&w 705 s2
Do you prefer these to the Elac Adante AS-61?

@@SoundSommelier what do you think of the 805 d3 compared to the 805 d4?
J'aurai dédié un ampli aux tweeters(2 amplis)
how about some Metallica on these :D
for metallica is good a 10 dollar speaker
@@margix1172 ...says the man with 10 brain cells
@@MrQleraja compared to the typical metallica fan I'm sort of a genius then,they can't reach neither 1 cell
@margix because you’ve only heard stuff coming out from a $10 speaker? That’s great!

Nothing bright sounding about that combination!
Just shows that correct combination of equipment brings out the best in the speakers/system.

Listening to 4k speakers through $4 speakers = $4 speaker sound quality every time.
try $500 headphones with an Audioquest Dragonfly dac. changes _everything_
B&Ws too bright!!! Nice Rotels 👍
Too much trebble if you ask me
