    Nautilus 803 now, moving to N 802 or 803D?

    Hi guys,
    Have the Nautilus 803 running now. I love the sound. Since the price is going down a lot lately. I'm very tempting on getting a set of Nautilus 802 (as I have fallen in love with these for years), however, 803D is in that price range also. Which one is a better choice?
    Thanks

      Personally, I would go for the 802N over the 803D. I like the voicing / tonal balance of the 802N better and I think that the Marlin head also contributes to a better sounding midrange.

          I agree with what Tim said. And if you live in N Florida, I'll give you a great price on mine for local pickup. heh.

              Hmmm, sorry... I disagree. 803 D is to my opinion better!
              But apart from being better more or less.... a bit
              do you want the simple 803D - box style or the more exclusive 802 style???
              This thing should fit in your styling, feeling, womans happiness more than better/worse sound.
              803d = traditional, classic taste, smaller space
              802 = more modern, crazy, being there, bigger space!

              THX!
              Gerard.

                      I'm leaning toward the 802 also. I love the look of the speaker and its performance is a huge step up from my 803. but I also want to hear opinions from people who have gonna through and hence I'm here now lol.

                      I'm in West Hartford, CT. If any of you are within 5-6 hrs driving. I definitely will consider. Please shoot me a PM on pricing.
                      Thanks

                              Nautilus 803 vs 804S - will I hear a difference?
                              by RIppolito
                              I'm ready to upgrade, so I'm trying to learn about all the alternatives. I've been focusing on the 804S, but would anybody have any info on how they'd sound when compared to a Nautilus 803?

                              Thanks in advance,

                              Tell me about these...801 ser2 & Nautilus 803

                              How do the Nautilus 803's sound? Are they comparable to the 803di's? Also what about the 801 series 2? Are they comparable to any of the Di line? I will probably be using a htm1 center. I have only heard the diamond series, which I loved and the cm series which left me totally unimpressed.

                              ATI Amps with B&W Nautilus 803.
                              by stringzz
                              Hello all,

                              I am running an ATI 1505 (5x150watts) with my B&W 803's. I am picking up a Bryston SP 1.7 pre/pro today. Is my ATI adequate enough or should I go with a 2 channel amp in addition to the ATI? Is amplifier current more important than watts? Any recommendations?
