btw...please don't post any more photo's..... I may be forced to order a pair of 3's myself.
It's a very hard color to depict in a photo, 'cisco. It's fairly dark except in bright light...then it comes alive. I used to have a Ferrari in this color which I bought 21 years ago, today...sigh.

I've tried everything within in my power to justify not buying them and your posting is going to push me over the edge.

The reality is that I am having a hard time justifying the cost for what is a bookshelf speaker when I know that for only an incremental amount more I can get a pair of Sophia 3's. Unfortunately, I don't have the space for anything but bookshelf units.

Looks like I'm going to have to make a move before the March 10th price increase.
Sorry to add to your agony, surf...good luck regardless of which way you go. I've heard that the 805Di are excellent. I almost decided on the Duettes, but I decided that I wanted a floor standing speaker. Being a B&W guy, too, I can't say anything bad about them. :sorry:
