    Combining Nautilus with 800 series...

    Is there anyone out there who's combining the 'old' Nautilus series with the new 800 series?

    The reason I ask is because I'm not sure wether to opt for a pair of N804 or 805S to hook up next to my Nautilus HTM2 ('old series'). I know the ideal match would be a pair of N805, but reading the positive feedback from the 805S / new series and the fact the 805S are derived from the Signature 805 pushes me towards the 805S...

    The reasons for my interest in the N804 are:
    - I've already heard them on my system and was amazed
    - the fact the price for a pair of N804 is roughly the same as the price for a pair of 805S.

    It actually comes down to the following:
    Is the difference between the HTM2 and the N804 (FST midrange) more obvious than the difference between the HTM2 and the new 805S...

    Your thoughts please?

    Thank you for your time.

    Ooh, Weijst this is a prickly one!

    My decision, should I buy the 805S’, is a little easier; the Nautilus 805s will go to the back.

    I’m sorry that I can’t be of any help, but best of luck with your choice.

      Sig 805 vs N804
      by luszer
      Trying to extract some info on what is a higher fidelity solution. I currently have n805 and not sure if the upgrade to 804s or Sig 805s would be worth the effort and extra $$.

      Will I hear a marked improvement in soundstage, smoothness, realism and overall silky presentation going...

      Any modifications to older N800 series? (Nautilus 804)
      by rodH
      I am currently using the original N804 speakers. I know the easy answer to this question for many on these boards it to always just buy new ones. But sometimes there is a faction of DIYers and tweakers on forums that know how to make a good thing even better.

      Anyway, since I can't justify...
