B&W Matrix 805 and 804

I had a wanted ad out there on Canuck Audio Mart for some time. Just this last month and half, I had two people respond to the ad. One was for the Matrix 805, which is what I was asking for. The other person responded saying he had some 804 speakers for a really good price. So I ended up getting both speakers.

The Matrix 805 I have one speaker which sounds like the tweeter is less loud or even rolling off a bit. I have to figure out if there is really an issue, or if its just the music. Could be a tweeter problem or a crossover issue, if there is a problem. I decided to figure that out at a later time.

The real meat and potatoes is the 804. I heard this speaker originally back in around 1995, was impressed with its sound. Warm, makes CDs sound good, and revealing. It didn't quite pass my one song test I heard on these speakers way back in 95, but no speaker has done this properly since then either. I'm wondering if maybe my memory is suspect on this now. I'm running the combo I wanted- YBA amp and Matrix 804. I think I will be keeping these for a long time, unless I come into getting some Diamond 800 series. The 805 speakers have been packed away for now.
