Posted .I auditioned these speakers in the Pines store a month ago, and have gone 2 more times to listen to different genres of music and these are the apex speakers in the bookshelf category. These are the absolute best speakers I've heard and I though the 705 and the CM6 before them were exceptional. Problem is the $6000 price tag, but if you can swing it, go for it because these things will beat some the tower speakers in the same room! I can't believe the amazing detail at higher volumes these beasts have. They are power hogs so you'll need an external amp with a lot of power to drive these speakers. Best I've heard for stereo 2 channel setup, period. Breathtaking musical reproduction without any coloration of the original sound recording.

Excellent speaker
Posted .Purchased a few years back despite my wife's objection. Now she loves it and claimed BEST PURCHASE EVER! She also mentioned that I have ruined music to listen on regular speakers ... At first I was skeptical about the speaker cables, but boy, it does make a difference! Yes a pair of these speakers is pricey, however with a B&W subwoofer (designed with the 805 D3 in mind) and a B&W sister company Rotel Integrated Amplifier (designed with the 805 D3 in mind) the sound is fantastic!

Q: QuestionWhat is the best amp, let us forget $ for a second. Lit. says 50 watts to 120, into 8Ohms, so that means a Mc150, or Pass Labs, XA60.8 {2}, the XA30.8 at 30 per isn't going to be enough?
Asked by Pete.
- A:Answer I would get the Rotel RA-1572. Rotel is a sister company to B&W and the Integrated Amplifier was designed with B&W speakers in mind. The Amp has 2 x 120W output and the B&W 805 D3 is rated 50-120W at 8 Ohms ... You do not want to overpower your speakers...

Q: QuestionWhat is the height of these speakers when on the stands?
Asked by Buddd99.
- A:Answer 40.1 inches without attaching spikes or rubber feet to the bottom of the stands. Those add an additional 1/2".
