B W Nautilus 805

Agree with the others except to dispute the opinion that bad recordings are unlistenable. The top end is very sweet but they are also very revealing so make sure the rest of the chain is top notch and match components carefully.

Having owned the N805's for quite a while and then switching speakers to the Soliloquy 5.0s bookshelves I will say the following. Overpriced, shoddy construction for $2K, good sound, harsh treble at times, and require real power and money in the amplifier. I like my 5.0s better, and they were $895.

I've owned two pairs of 805s for the past year. Paired with an ASW2000, these are remarkable speakers. Since I made this purchase there has not been a single day that I do not look forward to coming home and listening to music.

Krell, your particular experience is certainly valid and adds depth to the discussion here, but shoddy? I don't think so, and neither has anyone that I have ever met.

Krell, i am surprised that you haven't check into ACI Sapphire's? You visit the AudioAsylum and you heard opinions of many about these great speakers. I chose Sapphires over Soliloquy 5.3.
