    N803, N805, HTM1 with Arcam P7 - will it do?

    I was wondering if the Arcam P7 has sufficient power to drive a surround set of Nautilus B&W speakers 803/805/HTM1(the 'old' one, not the new ones). I believe the P7 is 7x135W so you could use 4 channels to bi-amp the 803's.

    Anybody experience with the above combination..?

      i have the same speakers, using a Krell 3250 for the fronts (200watts into 8 ohms, doubles at 4 ohms) and a 1095 for the rear's also have 2 rear centers, i think you will be very underpowered, i would at least grab something for the front 3 that puts out 200 watts or more

      good luck

          Used N803 & HTM1 or.....
          by Blessedi
          Just wondering if you have a chance to purchase a used but perfectly working condition N803 and HTM1 together for us$5000, would you buy it? Or get the 803s and HTM3s.

          Which is more worth it?

          ASW4000 or ASW850
          by worldys
          I have an ASW 4000. Got it because it was their biggest sub and I didn't have a full Nautilus set at the time. Now I have matching n803, n805, htm1. Wondering if I should sell the 4000 and get an 850. Has anyone compared the two? Other than looks is there an appreciable difference?

          N803/HTM1 to 803D/HTM2D?
          by speakerboy
          Anybody hear any differences with N803 and HTM1 front speakers and 803D and HTM2d speakers? I may have an opportunity for an upgrade, but I'm not sure if it's worth the extra money. Is there a significant improvement? Opinions?

          N803 based HT - Best upgrade: new amp or integrated?
          by Jeffk
          Just picked up B&W N803's/HTM1 for my HT system, running through Pioneer VSX49tx rcvr. I really want to get most out of B&W's on 2 channel music, but don't know if I should max out on amplification and use the Pioneer's preamp or get the best musical integrated to run side-by-side for 2 channel....

          Should I buy a second-hand HTM1?
          by hired goon
          G'day,

          I've got an opportunity to buy a second-hand cherry HTM1. I'm thinking about getting this, but only if I can get a matching second-hand N805 and N803 (my budget won't allow new speakers at this price range).

          Occasionally I see N805's for sale in Australia, but I've...
