1) Receiver (as pre-amp) and Amplifier combination I agree that no receiver will justify these speakers. I am looking at using following receivers as pre-amp : - Denon AVR-4306 - Pioneer Elite VSX-74TXVi Both are around $1500 range and provide THX, HDMI ports, i-link etc.. which are...

I have 2 B&W 804s as front speakers, 2 B&W 805s back , HTM-1 center and ASW 850 subwoofer. Currently, I'm using Marantz 7300 receiver. I am looking for better receiver to power these speakers to their true potential. I will highly appreciate if someone can suggest some good receivers upto...

Folks, I am looking for Tivo or DVD/R with hard disk so I can program and record programs. Both seem programmable and can record. I will appreciate if someone can explain what are advantages/disadvantages of both ? Thanks Rajiv

I agree with both, Scott & Girish. Acually, after reading several reviews, I raised my budget between $2000-$2500. I am narrowing down to following (in order of preference): - Sunfire Cinema Grand 200~5 or ~7 $2300 - 2500 range - B&K Components Reference 200.7 $2300 - 2500 range - Anthem...

How does Rotel RMB 1095 compare with these : Aragon 2007 Earthquake CineNova Grande 5 Sunfire Cinema Grand All of these give 200W on all 5-channels at 8 ohms. One more thing, I am more like a brand name person (thats why everything B&W!), which is better know brand name among these. I...

I have B&W Nautilus series as my HT that includes 804s as front, 805s as rear, HTM-1 center and ASW-800 sub. Currently, I am using Marantz Receiver SR7300 to drives these but my dealer told me that I should look at upgrading receiver or adding an amplifier to get better results. Any ideas...

Thanks for your feedbacks guys. Guess what.. my search is over. I spend almost whole day today at 3-stores and auditioned Martin Logan's Depth, Velodyne DD-10 & DD-12, B&W ASW-850 & 800 besides SVS and Hsu that I have heard many times at some of my friend's houses... My thinking after autions is...

Thanks for your feedbacks guys. Guess what.. my search is over. I bought B&W ASW-800 .. blends perfectly with my other B&Ws. I auditioned Logan Martin and Velodyne too.. but somehow I loved ASW-800. Though Velodyne DD-12 ia awesome but too expensive..I was looking for around $1200 .. though...

Well, I have B&W 804s front, 805s rear, HTM-1 center and I have been looking for some real good sub. Lot of people here generally advice SVS or Hsu.. to be honest both suck. Only good advice I got was that Velodyne DD-12 is an excellent sub, pretty expensive though. May be you can look at...

Robert Cowan, the more I read about Martin Logan & Sunfire, the more I agree with you that they're not good enough. I am thinking more between ASW-750 and Velodyne DD-10 or DD-12 though DD-12 will stretch my budget by about 700-800.. ouch!!! What is your opinion about ASW-750 with B&W 804s...

hey guys, I have almost completed my home theater with a pair of B&W Nautilus 804 as front, HTM-1 center and Nautilus 805 pair as back speakers. I am bit confused about subwoofer. Some say B&W subs are not good, some say they're the best. Any advice which sub would be better ? My budget...

I live in SOuth Jersey, close to Delaware. My room is about 18x18x9 ft size and approx budget is $1200. I would love to hear from someone who has B&W 804s and know what subs they're using. Any idea where I can audition SVS subwoofers ? Seems like they dont have dealer network and sell only...

Hey guys, I am in process of building home theater. I have B&W Nautilus Speakers - Two 804s front, Two 805s back and HTM-1 center. My 90% usage of home theater is for movies. Please let me know which subwoofers are good with B&Ws within $1200 .. even dealer discouraged me about B&W subs...

John, thanks for your reply. I was thinking on similar lines that my receiver is unable to drive these speakers. I would appreciate if you can suggest some good receiver for these speakers :) Thanks RS

I used to have Marantz 7300 receiver with Bose Lifestyle speakers in my home theater. Everything used to work pretty good, including my xbox, ps2, dvd etc etc.. Last week, I just got new puppies, a pair of B&W Nautilus 804 and HTM-2 speakers. I have no problem using them for TV, XBOX and...

Hey guys, can you tell me where did you buy HS20 and what price ? I have placed orders with 2 web sites ..both claimed to have the product but none shipped me in 2-3 weeks. When I spoke to them they say they're waiting for supplier to ship them. RS

Phil, you can check B&W retail prices at their official website , go to Global Site for United States. Then select your speaker and click "Add to list". You can put 7-8 speakers in "Add to list". Then click "Comparison Chart". This will show you price and other features comparison for all...

Steve, I agree with you, center HTM1 is way too expensive, thats why I am more inclined to HTM2 ($1000 diff). Alex, what do you think, if I go with system 1 (minus sub as you also suggested) and add 604S3 pair as back speakers. Should all 4 speakers always be same or can we mix these ...

Steve, The MSRP per piece for 705 $1000 and HTM1 $2000 and HTM2 $1000. Usually you can get 15-20% off on these. I also discussed Nautilus 804 vs 700 series with dealer. But since 703 pair goes for $2500+ while 804 pair for $2900. Almost same price but one class difference, I guess. RS ;)

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I will be using Sony VPL HS-20 projector and Marantz SR7300 receiver to power these speaker. Thanks in advance for your feedbacks. RS

I have been having Bose for long time but am upgrading my home theater to B&W. I have fairly big living room and can play bit loud music without neighbour problem. My max. budget for speakers is about $4500. My local dealer has advised me following two setups : 1) B&W Nautilus series : 1...
