I own the APM-1. It's sound is highly dependent upon setup. Because the sub is powered, it's easy to get it off by just a db or two which will hurt integration. It took me nearly 3 months of tweaking it to finally get it right. I haven't heard the 801, but I have heard the 802. It wasn't anywhere near the top of my list when buying speakers.
Nautilus 803's or Genesis APM1 ? ? ?
Please help im thinking about new speakers and ive noticed that the genesis apm1's are often on sale at 1/2 or close to 1/2 of their retail price. Why is this? Is there something i should know about the apm1's. Ive heard the Nautilus 802's and 803's and REALLY like their warm sound but for just a little more than i can buy a pair of Nautilus 803's i could have a pair of apm1's. Could someone who has heard both speakers please describe the differences and give your opinions. All opinions are welcome. I currently have a pair of A/D/S MV80T's and i find them to be a little bright. I Plan to use the new speakers with my lexicon dc-1 and a sunfire cinema grand signiture amp. Any help you can provide would be apprieciated. Thanks Lee Ross LRoss@CNGMail.com
