Re: To Hyperion: SF Electa vs BW 805

The B&W sounds a bit more detailed than the Electa, with more highs (but less smooth overall), a more immediate sound, a leaner midrange and more extended, more powerful and tighter bass. B&W in short, has a crisper, subjectively clearer, more dynamic sound. The Electa has a smoother, rounder, fuller, warmer, and more liquid sound, with a relaxed and laidback perspective instead. The Electa is more suited to classical and refined music while the B&W is more versatile, especially for pop and rock. I would tend to think that AA Puccini + Electa may result to excessively civilized sound.
