I've a confession to make don't tell my wife


Well I've been living with my Nautilus 803s for a couple of years now. They're placed on the carpet about 9' apart and about 15' back from my listening postion with plenty of space behind them. In the packaging there were a couple of (wimpy) jumper cables and some silver pointed thingys. Well I just put those pointed thingys on the bottom of my speakers. The speakers were great before, fantastic now.

Please forgive me.

How do you use these point if not with something to protect floors.Many of of us have wood floors to protect.Anyway these points may be good but if somebody has wood floors the thing for 803' (and my guess is larger speakers as well) is to get Sound Anchors "stands" for them.Yes I know it's a floor standing speaker but these bases are about 5-6" tall and have points underneath them.They also have indents for the factory spikes to rest on.Anyway you egt the coupling and the very heavy solid iron mass that makes it night and day.I have always thought that Bob Warzalla made the best line of stands for Maggies,Quads,etc but they were considered for many years THE stand for even the large 801's and 802's.Hell I bought a used pair of 802III's and before I left the store after having made the deal the owner had a used pair out back and gave them to me for free saying that it wouldn't be fair to sell B&W's without them that the speaker would not sound anywhere near there potential.Get a pair on trial form a dealer and get those points.My guess is you'll return the points or put them under a different component.
