W5000 vs. HD 800, not sure if citadel's trolling, but they're not even remotely close. i tried the W5000 and they didn't even compare to any of my mid-fi's at the time (K701, HD 650, DT 990, SR325, RS1, D2000).
the W5000s where extremely grainy sounding for me, that along with the tonality (i dunno if it was nasal, just didn't sound very natural or right to me, it was just very off). and no bass really where the biggest turn off for me. they did not have a very good soundstage or imaging either. overall, i was quite disappointed in them and sold them rather quickly, barely listened to them in the week or 2 i owned them.
i tried to like them, i really did, but they're pretty bad. the W1000 was better IMO
The soundstage "probably" not as good? You haven't heard HD800 from the right system that is for sure.
