I'd recommend the B&W CM5 - similar sound to the 805 at a fraction of the cost.

If you want DC's, I've got some Tannoy System 600 for sale, less bass than my ES14's, but that probably suits?

AVI Neutrons are lovely things. Well within your budget as well. There are few more natural sounding speakers this side of £500

n-Sats are rarely talked about from what I've seen here, but are fab speakers that go for sensible money and I'd look at if I were you.

I obviously second this.
They may not be perfect, but have qualities way beyond their price and category. If they match the room, they disappear and present music in a lively, wide, detailed way.
I have had speakers from Sats to Marten Design Miles II to Ovator 400s, through rega, old ARs, Harbeths and so on. I still have my fourth pair of Sats. When I try to change them, I find it difficult.
For the £400 or so they now cost on the 2nd hand market I find them special and unbeatable.

I know your right I will keep an eye out for a set,also will pop to local dealers to see if I can home demo some rega r1s.They might be the right ones speakers are personal,one speaker might suit one person and not another,so we will see at least I have been given some ideas here.
