I always wondered how they sold speakers. Their entry level DM series is total crap and the mid-level CDM speakers are placed at the wrong price bracket. You have an amazing variety available at the CDM price range most of which sound far better too. Their nautilus is for the real wealthy. Nautilus is good stuff but at what prices ??? |

1.
At US $ 12,000 frankly, I think that the Nautilus is fairly priced ( even though I dont haver that kinda mullah ! ) Look at high end speaker reviews today.... typically around US $ 40,000 and the Nautilus appears as a bargain ! 2. There is this story of the Cadance guys even offering to buy B&W a decade ago ... :-) Deaf, amybe U should tell Mr. Shirke of the opportunity available ![]() |

I too think that the Nautilus is priced very fairly in comparison to the other brands, @16/20K the 800 Sig (Not available anymore) will smash any other brand I can think of at that price point, take for instance the Dynaudio Temptation its priced at 40K but doesn't sound any better than a 10K product, the 800 Sig will make a Temptation owner feel very disappointed. Its my personal fav, though I dont really care for B&W but the 800Sig is something else ![]() Regards, Satyam [Beitrag von sbfx am 02. Jul 2006, 22:44 bearbeitet] |

[quote="sbfx"][quote="Amp_Nut"]1. [I too think that the Nautilus is priced very fairly in comparison to the other brands, @16/20K the 800 Sig (Not available anymore) will smash any other brand I can think of at that price point, take for instance the Dynaudio Temptation its priced at 40K but doesn't sound any better than a 10K product, the 800 Sig will make a Temptation owner feel very disappointed. Its my personal fav, though I dont really care for B&W but the 800Sig is something else ![]() Regards, Satyam[/quote] I cannot comment on the 800 Signature, I have not auditioned it. However, I had had the chance to listen to the 802D twice in different countries & obviously in different set ups & I could say that it has a great build quality, but sounds very very average. Nothing like the Diamond Tweeter that T & P [Germany] make. It has a lot of work that still needs to go into it. With regards the Dynaudio Temptation, I have auditioned that speaker too; i.e. twice, again in different countries with different set ups. Same reaction as what 'SBFX' had. It is a lovely speaker, but has the sound of a 10 K US $'s loudspeaker. It does nothing like what a 40 K speaker should do. For example, Avalon Eidilon Diamond will just kill it. You cannot even begin to compare the 2. The 'Gryphon Trident' will do 'circles' around the 'Evidence Temptation'. I could go on, but this will hurt many a persons on the forum, hence, I will reserve my comments. ![]() ![]() Regards, BHAGWAN69 |

The Evidence Temptation is too expensive for what it does. However I find the C4 to be an excellent loudspeaker.It requires careful setup though.The C2 is below par.There C7 seemed to be the most interesting one. Regards Deaf. |

I do not agree. The B&W DM series is great for the money. Both the 300 and 600 series have detail and dynamic range that can compare to the best in the price range. Another point where b&W scores is their good build quality of the DM range of speakers. PS1: My home setup: B&W DM303 + Denon AVR1705 + Kimber cable qwik12 PS2: Adding soon: Velodyne CHT-8R |

Clearly agree with the lower end B&W - nothing like their big brothers in the 800 series and above. Up to the 700 series the B&W range I have heard are very very average - no soul, no warmth no musicality at all. I think their older entry level DM series were very good - more musical, to be precise. The current 600 series are a real disaster. |
