Why lots of B&W Nautilus for sale used?

I see a lot of B&W Nautilus speakers for sale, mostly 804s and 805s and some 803s. Considering the Matrix was around for 10 years, you would think there would be lots of them for sale from upgrading, but no. So is the Nautilus really better than the older Matrix overall despite what we hear??

Thanks Bmpnyc: I just aquired the next step up REL Storm III Sub that are helping out my B&W P5s. Thought my next step would be some N804s. I've read from some readers on Audioreview that a great sub with the N804s comes pretty close to the N802s. Anyone else??

My P5 do sound pretty good with the new Storm III Sub I must admitt. Maybe I should keep them for a while???

Thanks Subaruguru also: Your thread appeared when I posted the last below you. I have heard the same things you are saying from other sources.

I have a pair of N802 about 8.5' apart and they integrate beautifully. I can't say enough positive things about them.

I agree with Dan2112 - I have Nautilus 802 speakers spaced about 9' apart and they sound great. These speakers replaced a pair of Matrix 802 Series III speakers. The Matrix 802 speakers are good but the Nautilus is superior and worth the increase.
