Anyone Hear the New Nautilus 800 Yet?


There's alot of "buzz" starting up and alot of hearsay and second hand comments. I know of several dealers with the speakers now on order, including my local dealer, however I don't know anyone who has heard them.

Has anyone heard the new B&W Signature 800 Nautilus yet, first hand. What were your impressions, and what type of electronics were used?

I holding off a speaker upgrade until I can include these in my evaluation. (Eidelons are my current front runner.)

Thanks in advance.

I have heard them at Definitive Audio in Bellevue, WA.
I was very impressed with their sound, even though at the time they were being driven by Proceed amplifiers (not my idea of great amps).
Two audiphile friends of mine auditioned them several times and heard them with better electronics (Levinson 436, Linn Klimax) and were also very impressed--one of my friends is buying them!
I thought they easily bested the Revel Salons which are comparably priced.
