B&W 801 Nautilus... ?
Hi... is the B&W 801 Nautilus still a force?
If the speakers are original, from about 1999? I suppose the entire speaker to be original. Although almost twenty years old, how does the 801 N compare to other, newer, speakers? Appreciate the responses. Thank you. |
Still a force.

Agree, still a force... Good price now also. Just FYI you will need world class electronics ($$$$) with any speakers in the 800 N lineup. If you don't match correctly they will greet you with harshness. They are basically telling you about any weakness upstream.
|
Mine N801s are still going strong as well. I no longer audition any potential replacement speakers so, by definition, I will be happy with these until the speaker surrounds rot away.
|
Did anyone hear the updated 801D and have an opinion whether it was an improvement over the Nautilus version?
|
So, suppose you had the 801 Nautilus in good condition...
how about McIntosh 1.2k monos and the rest of components McIntosh, too? What about speaker cable and interconnects? |
The 801s are for 2 channel music. Not theater.
The N801 looks so good! |

My N804 + ASW800 are still being used daily in my musical environment. The Nautilus line is a timeless lineup.
