B&W 805 Signature - good match for Naim?

[Dan Turner]

Seen some B&W 805 Signatures on ebay for a decent looking price. Obviously this precludes a demo with my amp/room.

What do people think - are B&W a good match for Naim? How would these partner with a SuperNait? Also my room is approx 4m*4m - not sure if the 805s need a lot of breathing room?

Any thoughts would be useful. Cheers.

I personally think that the B&W 805s is a better speaker,a good step up on 805.

I used CM1s with my Supernait and they were very good although they needed to be away from the wall to prevent booming which is why I changed to my SA1s which are excellent.

Either way the Supernait will have no trouble driving them as it has bags of power in reserve.......

Siganture has a lovely revealing top-end, will work fine with a Supernait. Will need solid stands and decent cable though. Signature (was £2500, no longer made) is not the same as the 805S by the way.

Thanks for replies guys. I'm going to give the ones on ebay a miss but will add the 805S (and the spendor sa1!) to my shortlist.
