B&W 805 D4 | La Vie En Rose - Aoi Teshima | with T+A HV-Series [4Kᵁᴴᴰ] 

Inconceivable? Is that really the word you wanted to use?

You are listening to your own speakers!

@@paulreading8980 I listened to this track through my high end headphones and even on RU-vid, it sounds great!

@@paulreading8980 This amplifier is magnificent and its sweet sound reminds me of a valve amplifier. Love it!

@+❶ ❸３１７１❼３➃❼❹hitviaWhatsapp OK THX , OMG !!! 😍

@UC49SprmEt5jKs9KdSVzkflg HAPPY BIRTHDAY I wish you, the whole team and your concept! I lived to be able to listen to something that has no opponent and that beats any top from afar! As you know, I subscribe to your Channel from the beginning, on the Facebook page and on the Account! I will not lose sight of you and I know that somewhere there is someone who knows well what he does and especially how the tools fit but also the musical pieces depending on the setup! I wish you in the future and in the new year only good and prosperity! gorgeous and luxury auditions! I love you HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! 2O22

This is RU-vid,com sir

I agree. The piano and drums sound okay but the voice far too bright. It could be the recording.

Even more detailed than Focal? I am not sure about that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vnn7rdorIgk.html

@@Rascallucci B&W has a different presentation to Focals. Focals are more prominent in the upper mid range making for a more glaring & forward midrange whereas B&Ws are a tad more relaxed in this region making for a slightly more laid back & sweeter presentation. I prefer the B&W style but sone prefer the Focal presentation. As far as detail goes, B&W are known to excel in this area. Its not without a reason they are used in many prestigious studios around the world.

I am always amused when pple say B&Ws make their ears bleed when nobody ever says that avantgarde or klipsch make their ears bleed. The highs from B&Ws are very detailed & clean but yet smooth & super refined & sweet. Of cos this is only possible when they are appropriately driven.

@Make Money Online i was just generalising…..i haven’t heard the latest 800 D4 series but according to my experience, B&Ws will sound bright & lacking in bass if they are not properly driven. 1st sign of poorly driven B&Ws is always a lack of bass. All things being equal, a lack of bass will make the highs seem especially bright & highlighted. I mentioned klipsch & avantgarde as i heard several spks from these 2 brands that sound really unbearable esp avantgarde. A friend of mine home trialled the avantgarde & told me he cannot listen to the spks in his listening room. He has to listen to them in his garden cos they were too jarring & honky…..just like a Megaphone. :)

@Taco I prefer the 805 d3 Myself. These seem more picky on component matching to get the sound you may want.

U said u purchased the 805s how was it? Bass is good?

@@hoygising1 Hi, Yes, Bass is very good. Low, well controlled, fleshy. I'm very happy with them. Best speakers I ever had.

The diamond tweeters has been made with 801s and 802s in mind, pairing 805s with some richer sounding class A amps or Mcintosh would work just fine, and no silver cables.

My 1997 Matrix 805s actually are on the warm side of neutral.

YES....of course. YOUR pair... is on a container ship... Just off the coast of California... LoL

Aww yeah man just tidaled it. Love this track and also love Grace Jones but never would have thought they came together 👍

B&W is a UK product

No, T+A is an German product 😉

I am pretty sure if this 805D4 was driven by an LFD NCSE mk3, it will be even better than this T&A combo. My humble LFD LE3 has seen off many much more exp amps. And nobody seems to know that LFD & B&W is a match made in heaven. For me british Hifi is still the most musical & sophisticated!

@@ganck1147 so thru! But for me personally, the b&w and accuphase (class a) combination is still the best.

The KEF LS50 Metas will be much more neutral. Due to the lack of any baffle and use of a conventional "dome" shape for the diamond tweeter diaphragm sans any guide, these have a HUGE suck out right in the 2-3 kHz region. With the reverberant room they have kind of a neat "distant" sound to them even in the recording, but it makes a lot of the formants sound almost "slurred" due to the variations there. I sort of remember that when I heard the larger 800 series as well in person. If it was not for the odd design, they would be truly fantastic speakers. They have much more capable drivers than the LS50's do. They still sound very good, but the messiness right in the middle puts a bit of a ding in the tonality.

@@mysock351C comparing the B&W 805 with the KEF Reference would be more appropriate I believe

mysock351C Stop spilling this non sense under every video please. It's getting ridiculous. Get a life.

I hv compared my old cm6s2 with the original LS50 & to me there was no comparison. Cm6S2 far more transparent, bigger with superb depth & soundstage layering not to mention more PRAT & dynamic. Of cos for this to happen, B&W must be properly driven. The LS50 sounded murky & smoky after the CM6s2. So i would think that 805D4 will probably smoke LS50 meta too. Ymmv.

@@SpaghettiKillah I have a life, and have done lots of measurements. It’s not nonsense, it’s called science you dolt. It’s really not hard, but audiophiles have their heads shoved up their asses. What is getting ridiculous is audiophiles being conned into buying this stuff. These things are just furniture that plays music. That is all.

That's called vocal sibilance, indicating the speaker is too clinical.

@@kinggodzilla7647 No waveguide to help mesh the tweeter with the woofer. This causes the off-axis to be just random sounds from 1-3 kHz, which sound different than the direct sound. It muddles a lot of the speech formants. Its possible to make that design work, but they need to redesign the tweeter.

You are listening to your own speakers not B&W's

I agree , recently changed my CM10s2 for a pair of Sonus Faber. I love them.

I also switched from B&W to KEF for similar reasons......both are great performers, but KEF is more neutral and relax for long term listening

A terrible rendered voice sibillance! 🤦‍♂️ For that money...

I would like to make a stipulation. Don't forget guys that we are listening to this speakers on RU-vid. I owned several B&W speakers and never found them harsh sounding or being to bright. I think they sound very natural. I just ordered pair of these.

@@DandyAudiophile which sonus faber model? I have Dynaudio C1 Platinum right now but was thinking of changing it up for a pair of small floor standing speakers. B&W 804 D4 and Sonus Faber Serafino Tradition are on my radar. There is a B&W dealer an hour away (although they usually don't stock 800 series) from my location but no Sonus Faber close by. It's very difficult to listen to high end products before buying so basically I'm looking for an experienced opinion. Thanks!

You're dreaming...

@@genesis667 not only yet. I have booth!!

@@Dr.Ignazio I have the 805 speakers too. A $1700 budget pair of speakers is not going to outperform an $8k pair of speakers. Not gonna happen!

@@genesis667 don’t get me wrong with my answer. It’s only that Linton sounds like a more expensive speakers (over 4000-5000 euros). That’s all!

Sorry but it happens with an Aperion súper tweeter!! Linton a hits these speakers so far. But sorry to hear that you spend 8000$ in these speakers. With a 2000$ budget I get more detailed and wide image.
