thank you for the comparison. going from yamaha to bowers really makes the bowers sound like it's missing all the midrange! but i like both and would probably be happy with either.

[@audiophilepassion6076]

Appreciate your time and energy to make this

[@reyiiteleco]

I can hear the box more in the B&W sounds. The yamahas disappear and the mid range come forward... Yamaha hands down.

[@cychen9528]

Thank you for sharing the comparison. I play piano for decades, B&W and Yamaha are definitely amongst a few of the products on the market that replicate the sound truthfully, even in more pricier range.

Gee, I thought it was only me. I have tried a myriad of speakers some even more expensive and overall better than B&Ws (talking about high end 700/800 series). The other speakers may sound better (not always) on dance, pop, rock, blues, metal, reggae, jazz genres whatever. But when it comes to piano (especially classical) the B&Ws wipe the floor. I was listening to a Chopin Piano Concerto by Hayato Sumino a few weeks ago on the 801s (powered by Classe Audio) and I swear it felt like the piano was in the room. That day I had just come off from a practice session on a Steinway D and the tone resemblance/recreation in the room was goosebump-mind blowing. No other speaker has achieved that. Note: as a pianist myself I am think of pulling the trigger for that weird characteristic alone, even if all other instruments are not so well represented (which is not entirely true).

[@cremersalex]

Yamaha!

[@gilek.57]

Also great song from Grace Mahya top

[@nikolagenov8881]

Both are a bit bright to me. Of the two I would get the Yamaha.

[@lienwilliam9170]

Yamaha ☝️🏆👌

[@cruise2023]

Well it's all going to be subjective. The 805 is more rolled off at the top, tones are more rounded as is the bass, fuller ! the ns3000 sharper more open top end, midrange well balanced and tighter bass but not as full as the 805 ! How did i go ? 🙂

[@filipviljamaasvensson]

Interesting. Is there any room treatment? Either way one can really tell the difference in character, lots of mid-bass and "cramped" vs open and airy, and "live".

[@wilki70]

When you listen to the rimshot and snare - the Yamaha is more dynamic and faster...

[@marc6652]

Yam are much more clear ! With B&W speakers, sounds seem muffled (especially bass). A surprise to me.

[@abccba928]

YAMAHA DEFINITELY

[@themastroiannis]

yamaha's are a bit more natural sounding but also a bit muddier. the B&Ws have a more "sculpted" sound: faster transient attack...which is nice...but also a curse as it can be fatiguing. easier to pinpoint instruments on the B&Ws. hard to choose a clear favorite.

[@SZTILER]

Jak dla mnie Yamaha lepiej, średnicę ma lepszą 👍

[@pawegaanczuk575]

ale z górą nikt nie pokona bowersów

[@theno1deejay]

On my Monitor Audio RX8 the Yamaha sounds way better. Amp is Pioneer vsx-922 in "analog direct" mode.

[@paulnickelles207]

Sounds all great😅 nice 👍

[@Jerry-bb3qs]

Yamaha better

[@marcwillem8480]

Super intéressant au vu de la différence de prix !

[@audiophilepassion6076]

Good work

[@VENOM-vq3ju]

YAMAHA NS-3000 = winner - The cymbals sound more real (mais manque un peu de matière) - More musical and dynamic (but lacks a little thickness) - more intelligible voice without being forward - Just a lack of bass "for my taste".

[@RoyFJ65]

Yamaha full spectrum sound compared to B&W.

[@AlexanderA-it9is]

B&W имеет небольшой завал по средним, это улучшит звук пластинок до 1980 года, то есть они просто необходимы любителей старой музыки. У Ямахи - наоборот подъем по средним, что приближает картину, но старые диски будут звучать очень плохо. Голос певицы ярче звучит на Ямахе, но высокие частоты более натуральны у B&W. В общем B&W кажутся более дорогими

[@audiophilepassion6076]

I am Yamaha fan

[@gilek.57]

Yamaha super ns 3000 !

[@stevenoconnor5693]

I found that the Bowers And Wilkins 805 D4 were more open and more clear, more natural sounding not harsh compared to the Yamaha. I also felt that the Yamaha felt more like a boxy sound.

[@ganck1147]

Finally somebody heard the boxy sound on the yamaha

[@lferle]

I felt just like you!

[@konradsojka1074]

.Yamaha play better..!!!

[@TheAmbrose20012002]

BnW with warmer tone and more bass, Yamaha with more Hi and Mid range, sound stage BnW is much bigger, Yamaha is much closer with monitor and shaper, BnW with better live atmosphere but I'm so impressed about the yamaha's bass is not bad though!!

[@boohoo5419]

talking about sound stage in a recorded video is just hillarious..

[@dimtodim]

vocal are better on Yamaha but bass is better on B&W

[@AceDeclan]

Song choice was a bit off

[@katie_0258]

The 805 might need a bit more toe-in? Which means they might not be all that good off axis? The bass and midrange, albeit the muffled treble, was preferred over the Yamaha, it seems to pack more punch. Yamaha had a sweet treble, maybe a tad too much? 805 isn't known to hold back on the treble.. Maybe it's the room, but I got curious about the 805. Both are great, I would never make a decision on them with just one listening on yt. I like how both respond to the rhythm, maybe I liked the 805 a bit more. Then again, vocals on Yamaha is pretty great. Seems open and airy. Anyway, I am going Triangle.. Wish me luck :D

[@sergionsj]

Bw muito melhor, os instrumentos e os médios completamente confusos na Yamaha.

[@haroldbrooks4235]

Both of them are grossly overpriced. What a grift. Manufacturers know that they can live off of their brand and add a hefty price tag on their product to make you feel like it’s worth it

[@claudioluiz3458]

Yamaha 😅

[@أبوخضر-د6ج]

Yamaha NS 3000 braucht anderen verstärker von Technics

[@peterphan227]

One sounds like a square cabinet and the other sounds like a round cabinet. Jk.

[@culle6522]

B&W is better !!

[@ryszardmazurkiewicz5048]

Yamaha is more open like when you listen ns3000 you fell like an music windows is open ....and fir me is a little more clear voice stage......

[@guidoastolfoni]

Yamaha!
