Why pay so much for super high end?
With S.A.P.-measurement I can get a subwoofer in phase with the speaker. But it is even more than that. You can use it to a much higher frequency. The energy is so much more perceivable. I auditoned many big speakers in my life, when you play at l...

BW 800-805 D3 series VS 800-805 Nautilus/S series
The limitation  of B&W are still their crossovers and the fact that it only can create 1 metre of stage depth. I owned the 800S and wanted to buy the 800D1 in 2006. But in a few shootouts the stage depth was still 1 metre.Recently I audition...
