Crossovers on B&W Nautilus802


Can anyone give me information on the crossovers B&W uses in this speaker? Are they high quality? Notable characteristics?

Hello Trelja..you have a point. There are a lot of good ones out there. After some initial listening test. In my room the Mundorf Supremes surpassed the North Creek top of the line Crescendos ..which are incredibly great caps and damn expensive also. It's all subjective though..what works for one might not work for others. I will be suprised myself to see B&W use a top grade cap. My guess is it will still be one of the lower grade Mundorfs to save on cost.
No doubt Trelja! I've been checking around. Mundorfs top caps can be found in $150,000 speakers. I'am dying to try the Mundorf Silver PIOs but at $95.00 for one 10uf cap the cost can be catastrophic... if you have a lot of caps in your crossover! That's why you will never see these in a B&W unless someone does a DIY. After living with the Supremes ..I have no doubt they are worth every penny. I will soon start ordering them and work them in till all of the caps are the Silver PIO/Supreme Mundorfs. These caps have a sound that just can't be described..you just have to hear them.
