B&W 805S vs B&W CWM8.5

[gosseries]

B&W 805S, second hand ( out of production since 2008) versus B&W CWM8.5, new?
+- the same price. Apart from first being a bookshell speaker and the other one an inwall speaker, what should be the best option concerning a stereo 2.1 setup with a good amplifier?

The bookshelf speaker gives you the best option optimal sound as you can place it in a more ideal location in room.

except if the placement of the inwall's is ideal.

Having both in an ideal place, what is the best speaker?

Not sure how it would be ideal other than wife acceptance. Sounds like you already have your answer .
