Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus 802 Speakers in Red Cherry - Price Includes Freight Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus 802 Speakers in Red Cherry - Price Includes Freight General: These are our favorite 802s, and the sweet spot in terms of price and performance. The new 802s are astronomically priced, the Diamond version is way too harsh for our ears, and the S version is not worth the extra dollars. Hence this is the best pair to get. We also have the original B&W shipping cartons to ship these anywhere within the lower 48 US states for a flat $800 (Included in our eBay listed price). If youre outside of this area please contact us here on eBay for a quote as we ship worldwide. Local pickup and local courier options also available. More from B&W: Nautilus 802 Floorstanding Loudspeaker System• The Nautilus 802 incorporates two bass drivers which allowed the engineers to design a narrower cabinet whilst maintaining the excellent performance of the Nautilus 801.• The 802 has received excellent reviews from the Hi-Fi press for both aesthetics and sound quality. The cabinet incorporates the unique Matrix bracing system, which reduces resonances and movement within the cabinet. The FlowportTM directly fires down onto the plinth for maximum dispersion and heart stopping bass response. Technical Highlights:• Tweeter on top: B&Ws Tweeter on top technology ensures that the sound remains focuséd and time-sensitive and that the stereo-image is presented with unparalleled three dimensional accuracy. • Kevlar: B&W developed and patented the method of using Kevlar® for loudspeaker cones to reduce unwanted standing waves. DuPont originally created Kevlar for use in bulletproof vests. • Flowport: Golf ball aerodynamics theory points the way towards lower distortion reflex ports. Dimples improve the way the air flows over the surface of any object. In the case of reflex ports, they offer a significant improvement over simply flaring the port ends in reducing air flow turbulence at each end of the port; so you get less chuffing noise and less compression at high sound levels. • Matrix: The basic construction of nearly all loudspeakers is exactly the same - panels of wood-based materials, bonded to form a rectangular box. B&W studied and evaluated how each aspect of cabinet behaviour and the efficiency of various materials and construction methods affects sound. Brand Background:Excellence, uncompromised and uncompromising. The world’s most famous recording studios demand Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series loudspeakers, for no other reason than they represent the pinnacle of sonic supremacy.

We are looking for damaged or deteriorating woofer surrounds, dented tweeter domes, and cone damage. We also inspect the speaker connection points for loose or broken connectors.After the initial visual inspection we connect the speakers to a reference amplifier with our preferred test tracks. With the speakers placed with proper distance we listen to each driver to make sure that they are producing the intended frequencies with no signs of distortion or rattle. During listening tests with test tracks we check for proper stereo imaging and bass response at various listening levels. If there are any audible signs of issues, the speakers are taken to the bench where we perform a frequency sweep to isolate the issue so that it can be resolved by component repair or replacement. *Scroll down to view additional images for this listing and click to enlarge. **Please note we are not a repair shop and only restore what we own. ---------- SkyFi Audio - Curators of Vintage Audio Gear SkyFi Audio is a small startup business specializing in the purchase, reconditioning, and reselling of high end audio equipment.
