Did I make a mistake with my Nautilus 805?

Does N805 has woofer screws? I know that other N series, like 804 up, user shall release the mid-range screw after 200 hours run-in for new pair.

The move is to release tention the rubber string tightening mid range and cabinet to an optimal level. Then screw back to just make position (not too tight nor to relax) and you can enjoy again.

As advised by B&W technican, the move can improve mid range outstanding level during the listening process. Just do once.

Kimu, Are talking about the large metal scew on the back of the speaker? If so, this is not supposed to be locked down fully tight.

I asked B&W about this on my N803's, here is their reply:
"The correct tension for the FST unit is set in the factory and should not need any adjustment, the easiest way to explain it is to take a coin and try turning it, it should feel 'finger tight' If this is to loose the FST midrange unit may fall out, if it too tight you will squash the isolation material inside."

No Fellows N805's have no FST, the speaker uses the same driver as the Cdm & 600 Series. It's just the ring around the collar, attaching it to the cabinet!

Lafish,
Wait the B&W FST is factory tuned, it only comes with a travel screw that is released upon set-up. No manual that I have ever read ever mention that you are to even mess with the screw on the back of Cdm-9nt,N804,N803,N802,N801's

Are you talking about the travel set screw, or the actual fst back plate?

Audiobugged,

You have become the Dixie Chicks of A'gon!

I believe in second chances. While your comments are in fact questionable, I do not think we should "hang em high" just yet. You do have good feedback. Just understand how they reflect on you and think twice next time.
