    B&W History - 803 & 804?

    With the exception of the diamond tweeter in the 803, how many years have they been making the 803S & the 804S as we know them today? I guess what I'm trying to ask, is if I see a second hand pair, how many years old can they be and still be the same speaker in the showroom today?

    Is "Nautilus" the correct and current term for these speakers?

    I think the 802s went from "Matrix" (Robo Cop) to "Nautilus" (Merlin Heads) XX number of years ago.

    Just trying to get educated as I begin to shop.

      Bluespower,

      The new B&W 800 S and D series (including 803S and 804S) were announced in November 2004 and came out in early 2005. So, second hand S and D series should be at most 1.5 years old. Hope this helps.

          804 Nautilus still worth getting today?
          by yourtoys7
          I might have an opportunity to pick up a pair, just wondering with their age if they still worth getting. I sold my 804S when my older sun was born (didn't want them damaged), he's 8 now. How old would Nautilus be by now?, what they worth these days? thank you.
