| B W Nautilus 805 Let me clarify. I think the N805's are built well. I just do not see $2K reflected in the build. The veneer is just ok, the plastic tweeter housing is lame, the grills are bad, and besides the nice WBT connectors that connector pan is cheap. I sug... | |
| B W Nautilus 805 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 a... | |
| Pass Aleph 3 or 5 for Proac 1sc I have owned both the Pass 5 and the Pass 3 amplifiers. The 5 is a more refined sounding amplifier. It is not a power issue, but a design issue. The circuit and number of components internally is slightly different. IMO the 5 is well worth the ext... | |
| A good subwoofer HSU VTF-2. Read reviews on www.hsuresearch.com and one addresses your very speakers in combo with a VTF-2. I own one with Soliloquy 5.0s and love the combo. | |
| Morel Drivers and Tweeter Opions? Merlin speakers use Morel drivers and have quite a following. Morel drivers are made in Israel and in past history they actually made Dynaudio drivers. There was some sort of hostile split and Dynaudio started making them on their own. | |
| B&W Nautilus 803 & 804 Vs The World This is the real question. Having owned N804's and then N805's and a Rel subwoofer, I can honestly say now that better is out there at a much cheaper price. I now own a VTF-2 HSU Subwoofer and a pair of Soliloquy 5.0s bookshelf speakers. They soun... | |
| Spikes for B W N803 Agreed, spend your money on sound anchor stands instead. They will be three point and easier to level. Not to mention will stabilize your 803's beyond your expectations. The spikes with the N803,804 are pathetic for the cost of the speakers. | |
| Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better? I actually sold my N804 and bought a pair of N805's and Sound Anchor stands. I like them MUCH Better. They are a little less forward in the midrange and believe it or not have more bass (quantity) and just overall sound more right. Add a decent su... | |
| Why lots of B&W Nautilus for sale used? I have owned the following B&W speakers in order: 1 B&W DM640 2 B&W Matrix 802S3 3 B&W Matrix 804 4 B&W Nautilus 804 5 B&W Nautilus 805 I like the 805's and will not sell them. I enjoy them more than any of the above list. ... | |
| Tip: Excellent Jazz CD's Gold Analog Productions CD. Classic!!! | |
| Classe CDP-1.5, 1 or .5 experience?? I owned the CDP .5 cd player and have some cd player experience to semi back up what I will say. I will tell you my experience strictly from a quality of sound perspective. I wanted the .5 to be great. Its specs, looks, company reputation were and... | |
| Best Used Tube Preamp (under $750)? Totally auditionable so check it out for yourself. At least as good as any other of these suggestions if not better. Check it out at www.audioelectronicsupply.com for $599 assembled. | |
| Monarchy SM70 Opinions I owned a Pass Aleph 3 which I bought used for $1300. I sold it and bought a Monarchy SM70 strictly to save some $$$$. The reviews and press and actual consumer reaction to this amplifier suggested its value was impassable. After living with it fo... | |
| Krell amp Mods / Tune-ups???? But seriously folks, are we to believe the following: Bryhifi knows how to operate a computer, find Audiogon, and type a posted question, but does not know how to forward a service question about Krell to Krell itself. This is an obvious TROLL. Tr... | |
| Krell amp Mods / Tune-ups???? Of course Krell amplifiers need servicing from time to time. The only one who can provide this service is your local garbage collector. |
