B W 804 for Home Theater


Lets talk about B&W for a moment. I have heard rave reviews about their Nautilus speakers and am curious about their suitability for home theater. I have looked at the 804s and 805s as well as the matching center channel. Does anyone else use this combination? Would the 804s/805s be acceptable for left/right front if paired with a proper sub? I am concerned that the small drivers on these speakers might not be up to delivering the proper slam that is needed for home theater. My home theater room is small and I am looking to purchase a matched set of speakers that will stand the test of time. Thanks.

Just bought the 804s last night. Let them warm up by running them all night. Played an SACD and it sounded awesome. I can't wait for them to break in all the way. I've got to pick up the HTM-2 center today. Curious: the port/threaded-nut on the back of the speaker across from the mid-range driver? What is its function? I cannot find reference to it in the manual. Thanks.
Argent,
Good question about the port/nut on the back. I have no idea what it's for. I left it alone. Cheers.
Dealer told me they are for shipping to hold the mid drivers in. They are removed by dealer at prep time.
