Where does one place AQ sorbogel feet?
Interesting points Tom. I've never bothered to try Sorbothane beneath electronics. Guess I won't! Putting it just beneath the feet of my rack isolates the components without directly dampening them. A quieter rack must be good. No component is des... 
Where does one place AQ sorbogel feet?
Theaudiotweak: sorry if I wasn't clear. I did not mean that Sorbothane doesn't react to/affect all frequencies. Clearly it must, but it reacts to/affects them differently. Sorbothane absorbs higher frequencies more than lower frequencies. As a res... 
Where does one place AQ sorbogel feet?
Theaudiotweak wrote, "Dampening devices are not selective to the frequencies they alter nor the dynamic structure they alter."This is untrue. All dampening devices affect some frequencies more than others. To expect otherwise would be to expect a ... 
rubber feet for B&W DM305 speakers?
Shame on us all for pushing our individual preferences without seeking complete information.Nobody asked Mr. Fishcall what kind of floor he has, which makes all the difference. Coupling speakers to a highly resonant suspended wood floor might caus... 
Can B&W Nautilus accept spades? Or Bananas only?
Mike,Your dealer is just wrong. All Nautilus speakers accept spades, as well as bananas or bare wire. I've used all three on my N803's.In fact, the jumpers B&W includes for non-biwire setups actually come with spades on one end! You can see a ... 
B&W 804: Is B&W a speaker for pop/rock?
All the floorstanding Nautilus definitely rock. The salesman who sold us our N803's is buying a pair for himself, and rock is all he listens to. Several things you should consider regarding the N804's...ROOM SIZEWe have the N803's in a 13 x 18 roo... 
Berning ZH270 with B&W Nautilus 803?
Middletown CT, just far enough from the magnetic north pole so that even a Berning amp wouldn't be affected :)P.S. to all, I just got an email response from David himself on this question. Very nice guy. He has heard a pair of Nautilus 801's drive... 
Anyone compare the B&W CDM9NT & N804
We demoed the CDM9NT vs. N804 vs. N803 vs. N802, all in the same room and system. We brought our own CD's and the dealer let us have the room for three hours on each of two days. We compared by swapping speaker cables and moving each pair into a n... 
Review: B&W Nautilus800 Speaker
Berjar,Fascinating review. I'm astonished that you listen to the 800s, or even the 802s, in an 11 x 16 room. I have a brand new pair of 803s, still breaking in, in a 13 x 17 room. They energize so much air that I can't imagine trying their bigger ...
