I have an assortment of speakers that I am selling. I will offer these here for a week and then off to Audiogon or Ebay.

Nautilus 802 Cherrywood 8.5/10 Special Club Polk Price 4750.00

I bought these a year ago and I can't find and marks on them. Rating is due to age only. The previous owner had them for a year so they are two years old. I have the original receipt for warranty purposes. Original boxes are available for shipping by LTL and I can deliver them to a carrier in Fresno, CA. Local pickup would be fine as well. Also, I do go to LA on occasion so I could deliver them there or meet someone.

Nautilus 804 Cherrywood 7.5/10 2000

I bought these about 8 months ago and they have a blem on top of one of the speakers. I will show this is the pictures to follow. They perform as they should and I have the boxes for shipping. Nice entry level pair of B&W's.

Nautilus 805 Cherrywood with black B&W stands 8/10 1700

These were my rear surrounds for some time. These are very clean with a few light impressions, not scratches, just impressions where something was placed against them. They are very nice. I have boxes for the speakers but I would have to pack the stands separately. I would sell the speakers only for 1450.

Nautilus HTM1 on Black B&W Stand (x2) 8.5/10 1750 x 2

I used these for my centers. Both were bought from dealers used. I had to pay retail for one of the stands ($450) I have a box for one of them and I could get another. I will sell the speakers only for 1450 a piece. These are awesome centers even when mated to other speakers.


I have some others as well but I think moving these should keep me busy for now. I have priced these for Polkies and I know the market, I can get more for these elsewhere but I like selling here because it's just easier. I would probably not be interested in trades as I am full up on gear unless someone has something special they would like to offer.

Thanks for reading and I will get some pictures up tonight or tomorrow, Sorry for the delay. Rest assured they are as I am describing.

Brad


Here's a few older pics that I had, I will update with more later. Thanks again for being patient.

    Those front speakers are sweet. I heard them from a friend of mine, very detailed, yet not bright at all.

    Sure if I can use the five finger discount. 100% on most items.

    Actually, I'm pretty content with my gear lineup for the time being.

    One day is Today.....:)

    I remember stepping up to my first pair of SRS's. I thought I was nuts spending that kind of dough. But I made the commitment and it worked out. Sometimes you just gotta say WTF, and go for it. :D

    Paypal will take Credit Cards, and I would negotiate fees.
    Just thought I would add that if anyone was one the fence over dough.

    I assure you; you would not regret the investment.

    Wow, Screename. That is some great equipment. I drool just reading this thread. Wish I could relieve you of some of that stuff but could only do it with lockpicks and a fast get away car right now. ;)

    Good luck!

    dammit, man. Seriously considering the 805's. My new listening room is a pain in the **** with room modes and I've been thinking I need to go to bookshelves plus a sub so I have more placement options.

    If you see my LSi25's on the FM, you'll know why.

    I have a few sub's around. A DD12 and an SPL1200 series II.
    I hadn't listed them because I was thinking about keeping one and selling my ASW850. Would probably keep the DD12.

    I need to get some more pic's posted. I'll try tonight.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Ok, I kinda knew you where kidding around but I know that you like them. I would be very proud to own such fantastic speakers. I'm not in that league yet.

    Cool man

    Nice Brad.. Are they the newer S's? What are you replacing them with? I've been in the hunt for a Hi-Fi set of something and the Beemers are the ones that keep haunting me. Good price on them and will make anyone a good rig given quality power to push them cause they will take all you can throw at them and are not shy about asking for more but the reasult can make your jaw hit the floor when done properly.

    Thanks Dave,

    They are all from the Nautilus Series. The "S" designation is part of the 800 series which include the diamonds.

    I have replaced these with those; the 802D's, HTM1D and I am in the search for a pair of 803D's in Rosenut to round out the system.

    As you say power is important to these. I have had a number of amps hooked up and I like my current setup the best so far. It's a Krell Theater Amp Standard. I has toggles on the inside so that I can run right and left out to 4 of the 5 channels for bi-amping and leaves me the 5th for the center; Although I think it would prefer to be bi-amped as well.

    So which pair to you want me to pack up for you Dave?

    Brad

    Ummmm, yea; I am in the Flea Market? And, I think I am selling some speakers. Hmmmm, might sound like a salesperson.

    I am sure there are better amps to be had, why don't you buy up all my B&W's and then I'll tell you all about my new amps.

    This superknowledge you have of Classe, is that because you have them in your living room????

    Whatever; it is doesn't matter, it's the process that I enjoy.

    I am sure I will own many more amps in my life, **** I think I would like to try them all.

    screename - You would be best served on Audiogon. It's cool that you offered CP a bite, but they belong on AG.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
