I use this in my dorm room which is about 14x14. It is a nice little system with punchy dynamics, crisp clean highs, extremely detailed, and a beatiful midrange. It is good for smaller rooms. The Analysis plus cables add to the detail and punch of the bass. Although the B&W's tend to be tips up towards the highs, the system holds its own against the other bigs names in components, power, and speakers.
Actually there is a slight difference, I think the power is a little noisy where I am, and it does change the sound. The soundstage open ups slightly, and there is more of a sense of air. I got it for $100, so it does what I paid for it.
Thanks, for the suggestions guys. Yeah I have heard the Merlins, I liked them as well, but I went with the 805's because I worked at an audio store and I was able to buy all of this at cost, except for the I-5. I guess I was wondering if you had an opinions on speaker cables. The Tara Labs stuff is too edgey, so I was looking for something new, I was thinking about Harmonic Technology, Pro 9 bi-wire or something like JPS labs. Also I might get a Ps Audio Powerplant 300 if I can get the money, what do you think? Also I have a lock on my door, so it isn't really a issue, it is also on my insurance policy at home.
