Yea I absolutely love mine! I would say the PM1 is a overall better sounding speaker than the Nautilus 805. It has better highs, midrange, and even bass. I'm lucky enough to have both sets and was able to do a side by side comparison when I had them. I bet you can guess which set I sold and kept? A lot of people don't realize the Nautilus series has been out for almost 15 years now. If you are lusting at a 805 definitely get a S version or higher, much better speaker IMO.
If you have a big room to fill neither the 805 or PM1 will sound good in my opinion but if you have a small to medium size room these are a very good sounding speaker. I think there price is a little high so get them on the used market for a much better value. Perfect sets seem to run about $2k-$2.2k. Good Luck!dan87951

I listen to all types from classic rock to even some rap. Yes I have a subwoofer that seems to blend pretty well with these speakers.dan87951

If at all possible I would like to limit this thread to those who are fortunate enough to afford, or were disciplined enough to save for, the higher end of B&W's (Nautilus and above). I say this because I'm more interested in what people hear, than in theory and ongoing debates of the best sound... -
I am new to the B&W scene and was hoping you guys could give me some descriptions of how these b&w speakers sound in relation to each other. Also what are their individual pro's and con's? I am strongly tempted to go with a pair of Nautilus 805's as I can get them for $1,400.00 but I can get... -
Updated as of Friday 7 January 2005,
This header entry for the thread will be maintained as a summary of what is known about the new B&W 800 Nautilus series. I’ll update periodically with the new / changed information (in BLUE). We'll keep it a Sticky while there is lots of interest... -
I bought a pair of the PM1's to try out and after having them a while I really like them!
Foot Print: First of all these speakers are really small and I love how I can stick them just about anywhere without them being the focal point of the room.
Looks: When I first saw...
