Hi, i need choise.
I have heard a MAtrix but not a 803N.
Matrix is more cheap than 803N
what is the best choice ?

im sorry for my english.
I have PRE C220 MC and MC 302

The Nautilus line was the beginning of the new B&W refined series - it's night-and-day compared to the old Matrix series.

Go with the 803N's.

I'm sticking with the 803N's out of that multiple choice you gave me. Mac amps mate very well with the N/D series of B&W - you won't be disappointed.

Hi Mati,
IIf space is an issue the matrix are quite a bit smaller. As V said the nautalis is more refined and will definately give you more years of use...the 802s3 are getting really hard to find parts for . If you can get the Nauts that is what I would do

Our first B&W speakers were the Matrix 805s. I had a chance to upgrade to the 803N and did. While the bottom end and nidrange on the 803N is obviously going to be better than the much smaller 805s, the high end is also much better - clearer, more open, better imaging. The 803N can also play louder if that's what you want. FYI, I'm driving the 803Ns with a pair of MC501s.
