Open Box, higher efficiency 91.5 (stereophile says 93 db, error or measured?,
In Budget
Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions.
Just picked up a Cary SLI80 HS and need some speakers.
The amp is 80 watts or 40 watts triode. Reviews say triode sounds best. Room is 12x26x7 dedicated listening room in the basement.
I have a couple subs, so if they don't have the deepest bass, I can live with that.
Budget around 4k.
@elliottbnewcombjr , yes, I was watching as the final bidding went down. I went to stereophile on line to compare the Nautilus to the earlier Matrix . . . it looks as if the N only cost about 2k brand new, so I'd say they are holding their value okay. That guy selling the ones you pasted the ebay link for says his are pristine . . . I would hope so, considering he wants more than they cost new. As far as the warranty being transferrable with B&W? I honesly don't know as I never thought about trying to sell mine, but the Nautilus series is so old that I would think that they were out of warranty for at least a while ago. |
