Now will one irresponsible comment start the rumour mill. Will Aldo be on line tonight claiming that he has no intention of selling his speakers. Will there be claims of a cover up.
Seriously though (but not for long), with online sales you buy blind so no way would I consider buying this sort of gear on the net. I would want to know exactly why they are only 8/10. Did someone scratch them (In some countries you can have your fingernails removed for such a crime)Mac 8gb SSD Audirvana ->Weiss INT202 firewire interface ->Naim DAC & XPS2 DR->Conrad Johnson CT5 & LP70S-> Vivid B1s. Nordost Valhalla cables & resonance management. (Still waiting for Paul Hynes PS:M)

Check out the sellers website. He seems to be involved is some very high end sales. The snails seem to be on the low end of what he sells.Originally posted by Briz vegas

ops: In any event, for a purchase of this size, a flight out to his facility is in order.
Bottom line is that these are out of my range. I am having to control myself because there is a pair of Levinson 33H's for sale locally and I'm afraid that if I go see them I will be an owner.- Bottom

I emailed him and asked him if the Nautilus were local or were out of the country......

You think I need to fly there and view them first? I was going to send cash in a plain envelope to buy them. Maybe I should re-think this, if you think I need to fly there, maybe I'll just pass...Originally posted by DM3000 OwnerCheck out the sellers website.

I'm glad that nobody here is interested in picking up a pair of Nautilus speakers. Definately not worth a little due diligence to check out. I understand, they are listed on Audiogon so therefore they are an internet scam. My N801's were bought off of Audiogon and I blew it because I'm sure they are fake (along with the rest of my system).Originally posted by chinetsTed,

by fatcatI have been planning to upgrade to the 802D or 800D, but am in the rare position of having a wife pushing me for the Nautilus (the snail). It's simply a dramatic piece of sculpture, even if you never turn it on, and is probably the most extraordinary speaker ever made from a design point of view. ...-
