I agree that the nautilus might be overpriced, but the matrix are relative bargains. 
B&W 802 Matrix Series 1 Sound
I've got a set of B&W 803 S2 and Vandys 3A in a 16' by 15' room. The B&W's are much easier to place in the room and sound clear. The vandys are sensitive to placement and have a tendency to sound muddy.Some observations:Piano sounds better... 
Placette passive and phono stage
So i bought the Ortofon M20E, now I just have to wait till it comes in from Germany.. I think I'll rewire my turntable while I'm waiting. I'm looking at the Blue Circle Audio Fon Lo Thingee for the phono stage. It looks interesting and very upgrad...

Despriately looking for amp for Maggies 20.1
It's a space time dimension (x,y,z, ct). they call it a 4 vector. Bacially 3 dimensions with the last dimension being seed of light x time. At least it is dimensionally correct.

Considering new amp - Mccormack
