Upgrade to Nautilus 805 Signature?


Hi fellow Audiogoners. I have an opportunity to trade up my current N805s to the 805 Signatures. Should I take this opportunity? Do the 805 Signatures really sound that much better? Or should I just add an Sony SCD-1 to my system and keep the regular 805s? Thanks for checking out my thread. Any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, the improvement is obvious. If you are already a Nautilus fan then you probably won't be disappointed. The above suggestion to audition them is a good one.

I shopped the Nautilus and I am leaning toward the KEF Referance, probably the 205.

i have yet to make a decision as I now need to check out the Tannoy.
I heard the Signature 805's & they are a whole other creature compared to the N805. In the past couldn't hear any major difference between the Cdm1-nt's & the standard N805's. The Signatures made my wallet wiggle!

I did get a chuckle out of the brochure as the original 805's where Snubbed by Stereophile for Sacd use.
B&W in Very Large print mentioned that the speaker was completely redesigned peticularly for High-Res Sacd/Dvd-A use.

I have owned 2 Scd-1's in the past, at this stage I'd opt for the Signatures. Unless you can stumble across a Scd-1 for the upgrade difference.

Yet I'd still wait to see what the rest of the high end makers will bring to the sacd table as it seems there all starting to now FINALLY after 6 years surface.
Yet the line-up of Monitors really changes at the Signature 805's list price range. I'd have to really question the 805's -vs- JM Labs Micro Utopias -vs- Wilson-Benesch Arcs.

Oops "TRADE UP" ???

If your Bowers & Wilkins dealer is letting you trade up at exactly what you paid for your old 805's, then by all means the upgrade is a No Brainer!!!
