B&W Nautilus 800's vs my Tannoy D-700's ???

I'm contemplating trading "up" to the Nautilus.

Will I be blown away by the difference (better) sound?

Right now, I'm happy.... got oodles of power with 2 MacIntosh 352's bi-wired to these Tannoys, as many suggest to get the best out of them. But....

I'm looking for audio heaven and think these speakers are now the weak link in my system.

Opinions please? And, thanks in advance.

Oh, one other thing...I can't find anyone in all of Atlanta who has the 800's set up in a listening room! What do I do, buy these speakers on the basis of all the good reviews? Has anyone out there compared high end speakers they have with something else not yet purchased? How did you do it?

The above two posts are correct. Tannoy and McIntosh are a great combination. I auditioned the B&Ws for my McIntosh 2102 amp and they were not the least bit impressive.

Oddly ehough, having also auditioned Tannoy, I bought the Kef Referance 205s. To me, they were the best match.
