If you grave for a 800 Nautilus, i can tell you that much. " You have no idea what your missing"....because that Diamond tweeter aint gonna give it to you.

Without getting too close to you, that's the most self-righteous, pompous, and ridiculously presumptuous piece of crap post that I've yet seen on this site in my five years here. That type of conceitedly snobbish attitude is exactly the kind of sentiment that gives all audiophiles a bad name.

Just because I don't own a system that in your arrogant estimation equates to "high end", I'm therefore incapable of eliciting an opinion on those kinds of components? Frankly, you don't know squat about the amount of listening I've done or the types of components that I've been around in my many years in the audio hobby. And has it ever occurred to you that people buy their audio systems because it fits their preferences and meets their particular budgetary requirements, rather than because it meets some arbitrary definition of "high end" or impresses people with the five-figure price tags?

If someone likes the B&W Nautillus 800, it's only because they don't know better? I suggest you check yourself right now, because statements like the one that you made above border on the ridiculous since you have no clue what people have listened to and what their basis of comparison actually is.

All in all, you'd best do your own credibility some favors by refraining from presuming the types of components that I or anybody else would be impressed by.
