Dennis at Cary actually demo's his equipment using Nautilus speakers, and has done so both with a single Rocket 88 amp and with a vertical bi-amp configuration. I personally heard the Nautilus 800, 803, and 805's driven in this manner and the sound is quite remarkable. I just wonder if I could get sound as good or better for less money. This brings me to the coincident and Merlin suggestions. I looked at the prices for the various 'eclipse' models and found them to be significantly more than $ 3,000 used. Even the Merlins were well above that price. Re: Red Rose, interesting looking design considering the tweeter, but what about lack of bass and integration of dynamic speaker with planar? I also plan to give Meadowlarks a second chance, I heard them with a CJ integrated and they sounded poor, thin bass and overall uninvolving. Never heard of Triangle, but will look for them, and would also like to try soliloquy and silverline.
Thanks so far for all your help, and keep it coming.
