"The ASW-800 will be available January 2003 at a manufacturer’s suggested price of $2,200, with the ASW-850 becoming available March 2003 at a suggested price of $3,000."

I really like B&W Nautilus speakers, (my front stage consists of a HTM1 and N804s) but that's a little too expensive. For $1865.26, I can get 2 SVS 16-46PC+s with cables (I already have 1) shipped to my door. Maybe not as pretty, but I'll bet 2 16-46PC+s will outperform an ASW-850...

They're sealed subs (as far as I can tell), so performance will probably be close to a InfraSub or a SunFire.

It's just my theory, but I think a single 20-39PC will go deeper than one of these. Dunno about the overall performance though.

I think in that respect they're like all B&W subs, overpriced compared to others. They do have very nice finishing though :)
