So, from the kind posts, I realize there will soon be released a new 805S that will have a performance close to the current 805 Signature (or even better) at almost half the price. This is an important note. The diamond tweeter does not capture my atention, as I find the current 800 Sig. and 805 Sig. tweeter good enough. The crossover and bass are the areas where I would be curious for improvement.

Concerning other 800 series models, I will say they are off topic because I've tried a 802 in a small room and it was a disaster - they seem to need space to work well.

Now, the alternatives listed are:
- Merlin TSM or VSM
- JM Lab Mini and Micro Utopia
- Diapason adamante II or III

I've heard the JM Lab Micro Utopia and also wasn't convinced by the bass performance.
Any other suggestions? How about AAD 2002?

Want alternatives:Top class Two - way's ?
B + W 705
Dynaudio Audience 52 SE
KEF Ref 201
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors
Dynaudio Special 25

I would go for the Merlin VSM-MM or MX(More expensive than the others listed)Perhaps longer term investment,make big steps,not small upgrades.Works out more cost effective in the long run.
Good Luck and enjoy the journey.

yer I have some 805 sigs and they are rather nice. B&W suck at quality finishes on their speakers. The signatures are an exception though
