Survey: B&W


Just for fun. Is it the original 801, matrix 801, Nautilus 801 Signature? Is it the Silver Signature? Signature 30's? The "pregnant penguin" DM6? The $250.00/pr DM302? Anyone remember the 808? Matrix800? Cast your vote. My choice as audiophile and fan for 30 years----the Original 801! I'll tally in 3 days and post the results.

Looking at B&W distortion specs:
DM601s3 2nd and 3rd order harmonics:
<1% 88 - 20kHz (90 dB spl, 1m)

Nautilus 804 2nd and 3rd order harmonics:
<1% 70 - 20kHz (90 dB, 1m)
<.5% 150 - 18 kHz

At ~1/10 the cost of N804, the 601s3 is a fantastic value looking at specs like these. Small cabinet has little resonance so don't need expensive curved cabinet of Nautilus. Even has the tweeter tube.
