Booming bass from my B&W Nautilus

Where are your speakers located in the room. Against the wall, 3 or 4 feet into the room ? How big is your room? Sounds like a room correction problem.

Check the location of the speakers, more information will help determine where to put them. Existing placement and overall size of the room. Sounds to me like they are either against the rear wall or in the corner, but not neccessarily.

Try moving the speakers around. Of for a quik way to do it.

Put the skeakers in the listening location and walk around and listen to the bass in those area's that you would like to place the speakers.

Where you want to put them may not be where they sound nice.

OR---the resonance my be just optimal for you room, still moving them around will help some. By optimal I mean optimal for reinforcement at the resonance frequency.

Also leave info on which B&W and what size woof they have.
They make more than one Nautilus.

Iujona,
You don't say which model of Nautilus speaker unless you are one of the rare few that have "The" Nautilus speaker. I own N804's, I used to have N805's, A co-worker also has N804's and my brother has N803's so I've listened to a few different systems with this series speaker.
I would suspect your room is the culprit. In my smallish, fairly well damped room the N804's are, if anything, a bit bass shy. Particularly in the lowest region. In my co-worker's larger room the N804's go deeper with more authority than in my room. They are by no means boomy in his room. My brother has a huge room with cathedral ceilings and his N803's are wonderfully balanced (lucky @*&#@%). I might add that Sound Anchor Stands have greatly improved every B&W set-up I have heard. The improvements are not subtle.
You may have a synergy issue whereby you would need to fix the room, work with placement and coupling to the floor or look elsewhere for speakers.
I hope some of this is useful. Good luck!

Are the speakers spiked ?.You do probley have to move them away from the back and side walls, if this fails .Buy horns and a SET amp .just kidding.I havent had good luck with BMW .

Check the settings on the 380s. Are you using the Factory Supplied Spikes, to isolate them from the floor? Even 2 to 2 1/2 feet should be enough room from any wall for your N803's.

Other than those 3 things, I'm at a loss?
