I'm planning to upgrade my front speakers in the next several months. I currently have B&W CDM 1NTs as fronts, and although I like the sound, I find them lacking in bass, and my older cheaper sub doesn't integrate well with the B&Ws and muddies the bass.
My recent upgrades are an Odyssey Audio Stratos Plus amp (which will power the new B&Ws) and an Onkyo SP 1000 Universal Player. Both, IMHO, excellent purchases.
I'm debating on the following models: current 804N, and the upcoming 804S or upcoming 803S.
I don't have much space. My music room is only 13ft x 18ft and due to space constraints, the effective HT area is only 13ft x 10ft.
I use my system for 70% music, 30% HT.
I like many different types of music, particularly classical. I'm leaning toward the new 804S, but am not sure if it'll be that much better than the current 804N. Also, how much better would the 803S be in bass? Anything larger than that is too $$ for me and too large.
Finally, given my source and amp, so you think the nautilus line would be a significant improvement over my bookshelf CDM 1NTs? Yes, what was once the prize in my system may now be the bottleneck.
