Hi guy's.. It's been years since i have not posted here. But my question for you is, i have an opportunity to get a HTM2 Nautilus centre channel in new condition to add to my HT setup. Is this speaker still worth getting in 2021? The person had it in storage for years and really haven't used it much. I am going to pair it with my PM1's.. I can't find an good condition HTM4S in my area so was wondering if the HTM2 will work? Any help would be great..

Wow these forums have died down over the years. Anyways I did pick up the HTM 2 Nautilus. It’s in brand new condition. To be honest it is pretty nicely matched with the PM1’s. I only use it for HT so matching it perfect is not that important for me. For music I do only 2ch anyways. But it’s a great speaker for the money. Made the movies come alive. You can tell the tweeter is not clear as the PM1’s but you really can’t tell that much when watching movies. It does have more punch in the low end. I calibrated it about 6db lover than my PM’s. My PM’s are rated at 84 db and this center is rated at 88 db. But over all very happy with the result. Not a bad speaker being 17 year old. Pretty much keeps up with the PM’s.
Cheers guys.. -
Yeah, the matching .. I used to have a HTM that was a seamless match to my 801 S3's tweeters. But .. in the end i preferred the fuller voice of a HTM1 Nautilus, i couldn't have both ..
Come to think of it why didn't i try to exchange the tweeter .. too late now! Clearly the matching WAS better but the sound was so much thinner than the huge 801's.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... -
Hello All,
Need the forum's opinions on this.
Because of all the real estate bargains out there, I am planning to by my 4th investment house in the next couple of months. I need a back up plan to help with the down payment if my other option falls through. That means... -
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 am putting the htm2 speaker in with this review because it is the only center that matches these speakers.
The 805 is the cheapest of the Nautilus speakers, if you do not include a stand in the price. When I brought these speakers home initially, I didnt really have very high hopes.... -
All,
I'm currently the owner of a pair of Nautilus 804's and while I'm satisfied with the overall performance, I've always loved the 802's in sound and beauty.
Lets just say I've always coveted them....
Now, just browsing a second-hand add site, I've come across an add that...
