What typically happen to the value of the nautilus series, once the new series hit the market, Does any body knows what is it going to Looks like?

In other words, they are going to try to make them sound (again) like the pre-Nautilus (Matrix) ones! :>)

The Matrix 801 or 802 Series 3, with the right power amps, remain one of the most extraordinary speakers for classical music.

BW NAUTILUS SERIES 800 D: THE DIAMONDS ARE ETERNAL

Report in London

Finishing up after arriving from London where I attended at the British Museum, the presentation of the new series BW Nautilus Serialize 800, I didn't want to leave without sharing with the readers the innovation already showing in the pictures of some of the models to open the appetite for the integral Report that will be published soon simultaneously in DN and in HIFICLUBE.

BW Nautilus 801D
At first view nothing has changed but all the new models “D” have a fabulous diamond tweeter that answers to the 70kHz range and the base driver is now manufactured from a new rigid carbon fiber material.

BW Nautilus 800D
They maintain all of the aspects of the previous models like the following: the "heads" of "Marlan", the elliptic form of the boxes, the absorption tubes, etc. The bases and the supports were redrawn. Inside the "crossovers" were simplified to the possible limit (the high pass filter, for instance, is constructed from a simple condenser in parallel) and the selection of components was very demanding.

BW Nautilus 803D
Entirely new is the model 803D that now has 3 (three!) bass drivers

BW Nautilus 805S
The models S takes advantage all the most recent innovations, less the diamond "tweeter", maintaining the previous aluminum version.

BW Nautilus HTM1D (central)
Absolutely unbelievable is the center HDM1 D that is the type of speaker that "takes no prisoners". Imposing, powerful and dominant. A column with "head" for strong spirits that like sound of integral movies.
Hey we all want the new top of the line B&W Nuatilus so I say we redirect our armed forces and invade Britain. Than we can slap the Brits silly and get the price down to 6K.
