Hello friends, I'm from Argentna (here is very difficult to find high-end speakers) and I am between these 2 speakers, you have many experience, which of the 2 think it is better and why? "B&W Nautilus 802" or "Wilson Audio Witt 1"? from already thank you very much and sorry for my English (use the google translator jaja). Greetings!!

Based on a professional review of the Wilson Audio Witt by Art Dudley when he was with Fi magazine (in which he concluded it was an unsatisfying speaker), I would say go with the B&W 802. I have no personal listening experience with the Wilson speaker.
However, I have auditioned B&W 8 series speakers and think they are very good. These can require some serious power, though. What amp will you be using?
Are you able to listen to either speaker to determine what you like? That's the best way to decide.

I have listen to just about every speaker in both B&W and Wilson's line, and they are all pretty amazing. (Although I have never listened to the Witt). If you can listen to them, let your ears decide. B&W and Wilson have completely different sounds IMO. Not that one is better than the other.......It is completely user preference. I know we all say that a lot but it couldn't be more true...........
The WAtt Puppies use to be my all time favorite speaker.......But after listening to B&W for so long.........the 802Ds have become my DREAM :TRyan

I have been looking at some used 802 but noticed the Nautilus is the earlier model. Can anyone shed some light on their differences, how they sound etc. You can pick up the early one's for a fairly good price these days, considering the 802D's are £7800 here in the UK still!! Nuts! -
I have a pair of 802 Nautilus.
How much better are the 802D's. I have top electronics by Spectral and Clearaudio Table with Strad cartidge.
THanks.
I'm into classical stuff, basically -
Just out of curiosity, I know everyone said the 802 (Nautilus or D) need tons of power, but have anyone really tried driving them with something as low as the 1075 amp?
Thanks
PS: I'm in flame suit now :lol: -
As some of you know, I've been searching for my next pair of speakers. My budget for the speaker goes to $50,000. Which is basically Wilson Alexia category. Every speaker I've heard is SOTA... but there are so many different flavors.
Most recently, I've heard the 800 Diamonds (paired...
