Why would you use a pair of $5,000 Class A (Stereophile) Rated Speakers with a $500 DVD Player? And how could you even think about useing the same low-fi source with $12,000 Reference Speakers? If there's ever been a case of mixing Apples with Oranges this is it! My first suggestion is to buy a HI-FI source with an A+ or A (Stereophile) Rating. Then buy an Amplifier worthy of driving those wonderful Nautilus 803s, try Classe, Krell or Mark Levinson (to name a few). These Speakers that you own and others that your considering, were not designed to partner with components that most professionals consider to be barely mid-fi. Reference/Statement Speakers are designed around state-of-the-art components, without these partner components these Speakers are nothing more than very expensive room furnishings. Once your Speakers are fully optimized then you should start to consider upgrading them, right now, as you will see if you take my advice, they are grossly under-utilized. Get real electronics and those Nautilus Speakers will blow your mind!
What's Next?
Im 6months new to this high end audio. My current system consists of B&W 803s 805s htm center for the speakers. Transparent speaker cables tributarie rca's and digital connects. DSP is the Rotel 1098 AMP Rotel 1095 CD Rotel. My problem is Im looking for new speaker's to look into. Another brand maybe. Must sound better obviously. Stereo is what id be mostly concerned about. These speakers must have a real wood finish, must like being played loud for a decent amout of time and still be accurate. The 803s never disapointed me Im just ready for my next step. Later next year Ill do the amplification. But Id like to build this system around great speakers. Thanks I know you a-goners will help steer me in the right direction with your honest knowledgeable advise. Thanks again Matt
