Hi-End Speaker 3


Okay, back to discuss Hi-End speaker.

B&W Nautilus - The prestige.

Highlight:
To me, it is the best speaker in the world.

Pros:
Image, coherent, almost no box coloration.

1.) When I walk close to tweeter with low volume, sound came out from the nautilus tube make it surround the entire tweeter section. It is so life like almost can touch.

2.) No box coloration. I believe nautilus technology really works. Only Wilson Audio WATT come to mind close in this area.

Cons:
1.) Need 4 power amplifiers for each channel. So 8 power amplifiers in total for traditional 2 channel system.
2.) Hard to match good speaker cable. Due to high impedance.

My 2 cents:
This speaker is not good for tube amplifier (Forget Jadis). So far the best with Classe Audio CA-M400. KRELL FPB 600 and was very good too.
