Spendor Audio vs. B&W Nautilus Speakers

I'm beginning a home theatre system with Rotel RMB-1075 multi-channel amp and Rotel RSP-1068 processor. I need help choosing speakers and a subwoofer.

I've narrowed my search down to either Spendor Audio or the B&W Nautilus Series.

The Spendor system would have the S8e's for the main speakers and the SR5's or S3/5's for the rears.

The Nautilus system would have the 804's for the mains and the 805's for the rears.

If you've owned one or both of these fine products and have an opinion, please share it with me.

I also need some recommendations for a subwoofer for this system. I'm currently considering Sunfire and the Rel Strata III. Your input here is also deeply appreciated.

Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you.

Go with the REL Strata; you'll never look back. And, use it with the speaker level connection and NOT the RCA input.

Hard to go wrong with either the Spendor or the B/W. I would think the B/W speakers are superior to the S line of Spendor speakers. Now, if you are comparing the B/W to the classis Spendor line (2/3, SP100) then it is another ballgame.
