B&W Nautilus 803

 

I upgraded to a set of B&W 703's about a year ago because I could not find any 803's in my price range. An upgrade to 803's was inevitable so in preparation I purchased a set of Rotel 1091 500watt monoblocks. Although I preferred Bryson's their...

Thoroughly enjoyed using these speakers. As my equipment improved, my speakers kept up. They will eventually be replaced for better but I'm in no rush. They do have very deep bass, smooth mids and liquid like treble. Just a bit of harshness in the...

Many listed above, sensitivity, delicate details and smooth ambiance, clean accurate tone, state of the art drivers. The hand crafted appearance and scent of red stained cherry wood. Rated at 250 watts but can easily take more than rated clean watts

My cohorts apprised me that the substantial jump to the B&W Nautilus 803's from what I had would be "magic." Having said this, I can't stress how significant the associated equipment--the best one can afford, proper setup, listening environment and,...

The cabinetry, a la stradivarius; combined with consummate musicality that compares to slowly imbibing a cognac by a crackling fire in an Old English Castle

None, if you do everything religiously correct in concert with the gospel of high end, as I did

B&W Nautilus 803

 

Excellent imaging and detail but unfortunately in my opinion there is a harshness that prevails. Exposing weaknesses in non perfect recordings is a weakness in my mind. That takes out over half the music available. Even with excellent recording the...

Detail and imaging. Great for acoustic, some classical and some jazz in my opinion

Loud midrange to show detail leading to harshness
