With the invention of asphalt paving, there are now a variety of new options for homeowners to consider when looking at their current needs. Website Asphalt paving offers numerous benefits that can be seen in both residential and commercial spaces alike- not only is it cheaper than other forms but it also provides better insulation against noise pollution as well as heat gain.

I was lucky enough to get a demonstration of the Nautilus where they showcase them for Bowers and Wilkins and I was blown away. I am not someone who ever considered themselves passionate about sound quality however, I noticed the Nautilus for sure. I never imagined that a speaker system could ever sound like my experience with the nautilus. I also got to experience Bowers and Wilkins home theater demo and that was completely insane. I know that they are expensive but, they have to be on the cutting edge in the industry. I will most likely never own such a system but, I will never forget the experience.

I was roaming the Bowers & Wilkins site this evening and stumbled into the Audio Review site; I couldn't help but read the reviews of my favorite speaker of all time...the original Nautilus'. I owned the 8th pair made (serial numbers 115/116) done up in the spectacular Porsche Midnight Blue. They were front and center in our big sound room in Tallahassee, Florida until 2012, when I reluctantly let them get away...

I never intended to sell them, although it was always a hope to install a pair for someone,
just not MY pair! As far as I know, they are safe and sound in Manhattan, NY.

The 802 Diamonds took their space and have done a marvelous job, but I will always miss the sheer 'presence' of the iconic Nautilus' speaker...there really will never be anything quite like it. Although, I never had the good fortune to meet Laurence Dickie, I hope to someday.
when I audition his Vivid Audio speakers.

We are now very excited about the latest incarnation of the 800 series, which ships this month. Personally, I am looking forward to the 800 D3 due out in the Spring of 2016.
I think that may be what takes the place of our 802 Diamonds!

If you ever have the rare opportunity to experience the original Nautilus', you owe it to yourself to go out of your way and hear them.
They will leave you breathless; almost speechless and certainly satisfied like no other speaker made. I miss my pair from time to time and sometimes wish I had never let them go...

Hope this finds you well;
Best wishes,

I was lucky enough to work on the team with Laurence Dickie back in the 1990s when he was developing the Nautilus Loudspeaker. It was such a game changer that B&W didn't really know what to do with it for years. It was just too good, making their current range seem mediocre by comparison. However Laurence Dickie has not been resting, he has spent the last 20 twenty years refining the Nautilus at his new company Vivid Audio. The Vivid Audio is a highly evolved and refined Nautilus, using exactly the same concepts, but this time TWO 12 inch bass drivers not one, in reaction cancelling format, and with reaction cancelling ports too. All tubes are hidden inside the large tear drop tube cabinet, with a curl at the top echoing the Nautilus snail feature. Again, the cabinets and tubes remove totally all rear radiation, and this time his drivers are neodymium magnet powered rather than ceramic magnets as used in Nautilus. The domes are vastly more rigid with a fraction of the mass and the whole system is so sensitive it can run on a 15 watt amplifer - or a 800 watt monster if you prefer. With a greater than 120 db dynamic range the Vivid leaves the Nautilus in its wake. B&W Had to keep up the production of Nautilus because of Vivid. A great compliment, but both systems were created by the same man... Judge for yourself.

Nothing but perfection

Price.. but its worth it

This is the best of the best.. There is nothing better.. You can try to look but there really isnt.

There are more expensive speakers out there..didnt you know that? so to get something this unique and visually stuning and consists of so much engineering and technology...all in one small package..thats somethin. i dont want no 100K 7 foot tall 300lb speaker in my living room

what is this? that doesnt go with anything in my house. a cheap sony stereo would look more classy and modern than this

ok, how can anything sound life like? i mean, how can you compare these to a concert experience? When your at a concert, they use speakers tens of times cheaper, so it must be easy to reproduce. as for singing and orchestra recordings and stuff, no ones PA gear is gonna record the sound the exact way it occured. So forget listening to speakers that make it seem like the person is in the room with you. Just a thought, otherwise, its dam good sound. very very very very good. i dont need to say anymore, i dont own it either, jsut listened to them

Yes they are pricey, but you get what you pay for if you truly want the best (I hope not to make anyone mad, just telling you what I think). Oh and be careful, after installing a pair for a customer his maid stuck a broom through a midrange. They are very expensive and timely to replace. My advice, rope them off and get rid of the pets!

I am writing to defend B&W for making such an excellent speaker. I work at a high end audio store and have sold these speakers. Simply put it is the best speaker I have ever heard and I have heard quite a few high end speakers but that is just my opinion. When it comes to audio everyone has their own opinion and some will defend it rather harshly. No two people will hear things exactly the same, yes it will be very close but we all will come to different conclusions about what sounds good. That is exactly why there are so many different speaker manufacturers and audio companies in the world today. Personally I love these speakers. I have never heard anything sound so smooth and detailed. Reading other reviews on this speaker was entertaining. Yes we could spend money on other things, even other people, but why aren't you people bashing Ferrari and musical instrument companies that sell super high end products? If I had the money to buy these speakers I would.

Well i''m getting to become an audiophile... i''ll have to say these speakers are DAMN SEXY. And believe me quality comes at a price. People are sure complaining.... Good heaves not everyone complained, otherwise technology would have not even progressed to where it is today... Why don''t people complain about the roads government builds, spending billions of money... Yeah sure they won''t, they use it.... Imagine every one having the same car :(.... hehe would be a hard time for COPS.... Time and Technology changes....
