Can B&W Nautilus accept spades? Or Bananas only?

I say find another dealer if you can, if they do not know that one of their main speaker lines, B&W speakers, accept spades, bananas and bare wire, then I would not want to give them my 1700-10000 dollars. Remember when buying from a dealer, you are not only paying for the product but their expertise as well and it seems that this dealer does not have it. Good luck.

Thanks for the info! I figured that was the case.

By the way, the dealer started carrying B&W about a year ago, despite that, I would think that they would know that you can option any binding post you want!

However, they have these annual sales and I was sorely tempted this Xmas, but didn't buy due to the "inability to accept spades". Their N802 was $7300 and the N804 was $3300.

I'm using Analysis Plus Oval 9 biwire on my N804s and they have the big T1 spades. Good wires , monster spades.

Mike,

Your dealer is just wrong. All Nautilus speakers accept spades, as well as bananas or bare wire. I've used all three on my N803's.

In fact, the jumpers B&W includes for non-biwire setups actually come with spades on one end! You can see a diagram in the owner's manual, which is available on B&W's site at the address below. Buy 'em and enjoy!
