"We love 'em and we are not afraid to shout it out of the rooftops..."

"It takes a special sort of standmount speaker to beat its floorstanding rivals to our Gold Award at this price - and that's exactly what the 805S is. The baby model in the B&W's newly revised 800 Series, it's a compact speaker of exceptional class."

"Beautiful looking and sounding speakers - great standmounts you'll never grow tired of listening to."
"The B&W 805's square their shoulders and deliver jazz with bags of dexterity"
