Nautilus 800s or 802Ds : Which would you choose

[Race Car Driver]

If someone gave you a free pair of N800s or 802Ds which would you choose and why?

[RobP]

N800s, why??......because they were free :B

[Pedro]

The best BW is the 801D.

Both - send me the pair you don't like. I pay for shipping ... :B

Nautilus 800. Because it'll matches my Nautilus 805.

800s, just for the looks

I asked a dealer that question - at the time he had an 802D and a N800 in his auditioning room. He said 802D was the better speaker.

For looks I guess N800 as long as it was in that red finish. For sound the 802D although if I could not tell the difference it would be tricky (I did not hear an A/B, he knew I could only afford 804s).

802D. Would allow me to run 4×802D then :B

I have 802D's. Love them. The obvious improvement is the Diamonds tweeter. Very sweet, and easy to listen to. The other improvements in the Diamond line (like the updated bass drivers) are also very good.

I might get more bass with N800's, but I don't think I would trade off the other areas of the 802D's.


And the 800's would simply be too big in our room.


Hope this helps.

While the 802D improves things across the board the N800 might be better balanced. Without the benefit of a side-by-side comparison I might lean towards the N800.

802d,


for is the Best.


Why do you need more???????

[RNKC]

802D but only because my room is too small for the N800.
