DUDE! Those look like they should fold down over my gramma's head to dry her hair!!!!

Unless I'm reading the product descriptions for the B&W lines wrong, the word "Nautilus" now refers to the technology buzz word used in the tweeter build process. "Nautilus 804" used to be a step up model from the "Matrix 804" line which no longer exists. I wonder what's behind all this?

the Nautilus 804 isn't in production anymore too... (N804, N803, N802, ...). Now the S and D series are in the run, 802, 801 and 800 only exist in D (which stands for Diamond, referring to the tweeter, S stands for Standard, also referring to the tweeter (which in the S line is aluminium...))

the Nautilus series and the current series do look the same, but the current series sound much better...

keep them spinning,
Bert.

Time for some B&w 101.
"Nautilus" refers to a NAUTILUS SHELL, which is a spiral.
At the outside larger end you put the speaker.
They make (made?) a speaker that is basically nothing but a large NAUTILUS SHELL.
You need an appointment to listen to one.
You're tweeter sitting on top, with a tapered tube, is a version of this tech, as are the tweeters in my 602s2's and my center.
They get rid of standing waves and improve soundstage dramaticaly

BTW, those pictures were posted somewhere else before. They did nothing for me then, and they do nothing for me now.

i hate rooms.

i get drastically different bass depending on where i stand in my room. luckily i get about 90% in my listening area.

unfortunately for me, having powered towers makes mucking around with placement next to impossible.

**Rich-n-Texas** · 06-25-2008, 10:02 AM

Feeling a little chippy today Bert?

**Rich-n-Texas** · 06-29-2008, 07:17 AM

Imagine how many friends you'd make pix if, instead of saying anything you only posted pictures.

**GMichael** · 07-02-2008, 07:26 AM

My dad had a nurse who used to wake him up at 3 AM every night to give him a sleeping pill.

Well, since they let you go...
really tho, does stating unpleasant truth, trying to get a debate going, informing people,
does that make you an antagonist?
I AM SUCH A NICE GUY, REALLY

**GMichael** · 07-03-2008, 05:08 AM

Love the yellow eyes. But that smile seems forced.

**Rich-n-Texas** · 07-02-2008, 03:58 PM

Just another FYI... the LPA-1 has been officially discontinued. The replacement 7.1 amp is the UPA-7 @ $649.00
