B&W Nautilus 803's versus 804's and 802's

any opinions on the above 3 speakers. I like the sound of the 804's but want a LITTLE more bottom end and a LITTLE
more soundstaging. I found the 802's too big for my room. I'm sitting back about 9 feet from the speakers. The 802's mid range was clearer, there was more bottom end and more dynamics but I felt it was a little too much for how close I was to the speakers. I think the 802's are great if you have the room and can sit back far enough to really enjoy them.

I agree with BM. Get the 805 and a good sub. the 805 has more detail with a good sub, and it will have more bottom end as well comparing to 804 and 803. Only the 802 is better than the 805 in terms of higher resolution beyond the mid-bass range.

The only draw back is you need to find a sub that will blend in seemlessly with your speakers, room and electronics. Velodyne ULD series is the only sub I know that does it well in audio terms.

Bring back to ULD, VELODYNE!!
