I just bought the Nautilus 805s to upgrade from 602s. First impression is they are an improvement, but not vast. IMO, this does not speak low of the 805s, but high of the 602s or maybe I am running into the limit of the rest of my system which consists of both CD & DVD-A sources, Yamaha RX-V1 which was their top-of-the-line receiver a few years ago & DH LABS SilverSonic Cables.
I was surprised to have found the volume limit of the 805s at -20db; which is loud, but not terrifically so in my 14x20 room. :E With the same system I have NEVER found the limit of the 602s which are rated at the same 120 wpc.
Could this be because the 805s take more power to drive (88 db vs 90db) or is it a limitation of the Receiver? Would getting 804s help? :lol:
