Hello
I use to have the 803 B&W with Transparent Ultra and Reference. This was a nice combo, but it got a bit bloated at times or a bit chesty with the voices. I then sold and got onto Valhalla. This was a big change for the better. The Valhalla was a much better match in all areas for the B&W 803. I believe all the Nautilus range have the same sound nearly. Except as you go up the line of speaker, they just sound better. The Valhalla or Transparent is not in proportion to price ratio, but if you can pick up for a good price, I say go for it. The Kimber mentioned above is also a great match. I have had the above cables in the system and they sound nice indeed.
