Sorry for making a similar post but I guess I asked the wrong question and want to ask to all of you who own the htm1 and have experience with 805s's, that would a htm1 go well with 805s as front R/L?

Probably not, HTM4s is pretty much a 805's in centre speaker form. Much better match. -
I guess the htm1 can drown out the sounds of the 805s?? But what if say for now I want to use the 805s as R/L and the htm1 as the center piece, but in the future invest on a pair of 803 or 802's? Then I could move the 805s to the backs and use the htm1 as center piece.
But I guess i'm just curious to know if for now (probably for 2 more years) using htm1 as center and 805s as R/L would be horrible?Comment

Well I couldn't really tell you what it would sound like since I have not heard that combo, but if you where upgrading in future then maybe consider getting the HTM1.Originally posted by jjahshik32Comment

I guess I've just read so much about the htm1 and how everyone is blown away with its performance. Because for the price of a htm4 I can get the htm1.. so kinda stumped at the moment...Comment

In my somewhat limited experience, I've found that you can get away with a speaker "mis-match" up front, provided your center is better than your L & R. Well, it's not ideal for surround music, but for movies it's very workable, and (contrary to popular wisdom) can be an improvement for movies over a proper "match".
I'd say go for it, because you can probably turn around and sell the HTM1 for what you paid if you don't like the combo.Comment

If you can get them for the same price go for it! In AUS a HTM1D is $14,000 where as a HTM4S is $2,500.Originally posted by jjahshik32Comment

Is the htm3s the new Nhtm1 (non D)?? The dealer in my city doesnt have the htm1 listed but does have the htm3s but it looks exactly the same as the Nhtm1.

Now i'm thinking about buying the Htm4 to go with the 805s. Anyone here have any experience with the htm4 especially used with the 805s? But I do hear that for movies that a superior center is a must?Comment

I own the B&W 805s as my fronts but thinking about using the B&W Nautilus HTM 1 as my center and fronts. Do you guys think that the B&W Nautilus HTM 1 will serve well as fronts and to put my 805s as rear? I hear that the B&W Nautilus HTM 1 sounds just the same as the 804. I guess... -

I have had a set of Nautilus 805's that I bought new about a year ago, my buddy got a set of 805S's and thought we would do a side by side comparsion of the two one day. We had everything hooked up to a Classe CA-201 amp, HK AVR520 pre-amp, Denon DVD-1920 dvd-player, and Rotel RCC-1055 CD changer all... -
I’m breaking in a brand new pair of 805S’ I’ve got on demo from a local dealer. Been itching to compare them to the Nautilus 805s that have seen service in my room for the past 16 months.
Set the 805S’ up on stands last night, did not change location or positioning from the Nautilus... -
