B&W Nautilus (sold)

This Hi-end book shelf speakers are in mint condition. Comes with speaker stands.

Weighing 9kg, the '805 measures 415x238x344mm (HWD). Inset into the baffle is a 165mm woven FST Kevlar mid/bass driver crossing over at 3kHz. Below it is the company's patented Flowport, notable for a series of dimples on its surface comparable to the surface of a gold ball. This is said to enhance the linearity of the port's output, while eliminating any traces of 'chuffing' noise often attributable to an active orifice. At the very top is the module looking like the bonnet mascot off a Fifties Buick but housing the Nautilus tweeter. The driver is a 1in metal dome high frequency unit protected by a fine mesh grille and backed by its own mini-enclosure, fitted with vibration isolators.

Inset into the back are the multi-way, CE-approved terminals, recognisably WBT but tailored by the German terminators to B&W's needs. The '805 is bi-wireable.
