Love my Q150s, can’t imagine getting nicer sound or more sound stage out of a speaker that size. I power them with a 75 watt Denon amp, the mellow denon sound works well with the bright KEFs. Very revealing but I can listen to them all day
Pretty impressive speakers, I had the 6 home to compare with my Focal Aria 936. The Dali was more detailed and natural sounding. The soundstage was better as well. The vocals were more lifelike, listening to Diana Krull was pretty incredible.
I'm just saying it would be easy to bump the tone arm when you were reaching for the Bluetooth button and if it's going on on the vinyl already it would be easy to scratch it, that's all
Yep, I love the JBL L52. I consider it #2 after my GoldenEar BRX. I also compared the other 2 to the KEF LS50 meta and I thought it was terrible...very beaming, heavy, inefficient like the JBL Apple Music lossless
As much as I love my Parasound 2125v2 for my GoldenEar BRX, I've upgraded to the NAD C298 (similar to NAD M23). My Parasound moved to powering the surround L/R speakers in a mixed use music/movies 7.4.4 setup and movies sound better. My requirements (<50 lbs and <16 in deep, trigger input/output, gain adjustment, RCA loopout for subwoofer). It's 2024, and I'm shocked at how many amps don't have at least a trigger input, much less a gain adjustment.

The remote is lovely its weighty and tactile and replicates the control the system its not a gimmick and it fits lovely in the hand are is harder to lose 😄
Never liked B&W speakers and this is not different. When will they learn about baffle step compensation? Quite stunning that they still produce so bright and edgy sounding loudspeakers
I am user of b&w, this Nautilus was a goal for me ( sone years a go). The sound it's to soft for this days, maibe Classe Delta make this more obiously. But four of ultra high end amp ( Gryphon, i say) is too expensive.. Maibe some good D class amp make this posible. Indeed it's a resonance free cabinet ( outside), i like it very much.. If i buy in future, i change crosovers for i can use with my Amp.. Eny way, RU-vid make sound to soft and with more lows.. BR👍
Its almost like complaining about the pimple behind the super model's ear. These are great prices for what the consumer receives, and brings potential new record buyers in the game for not a lot of coin. The location of the blue tooth button is academic.
This guy is as good as it gets. What an amazing brand ambassador. Very classy and down to earth. Perfect amount of well spoken and fun without being pretentious.
that concept is not NEW >> that is how you should treat all bookshelf speakers .. of course when you take the load off the 6 it is going to perform better ,
You must hear this line of speakers. I own the KORE and they are the greatest speakers I’ve ever heard. I have Rubicons in my theater that I will be upgrading to the Rubikore.
Nice, though I can't believe B&W are still using aluminium diaphgragms when technology has moved on at a rapid pace. That also explains why they rolled off the tweeter at 25Hz (+/- 6db). I'd expect a lot more for $100kUS speakers which require 4 stereo amps or 8 mono blocks to drive them. For a quarter of the price, I'd rather buy a pair of Linkwitz LX521 Reference speakers with Aluminium-Panzerholz sandwich top and the matching PowerBoxNCore amps & cables.
Yes, I’ve had 2 sets of LX521.4s and they are excellent speakers at a much lower price point, they just aren’t art, nor iconic. So, if it is just the sound you’re interested in the LX521.4 is a great choice.
@@CobraChamp Well i'm an audiophile, so I vote for the music. I'll leave the Toorak toffs to buy those B&W's for their mansions. Re: iconic, I'd beg to differ. Siegfried Linkwitz was a genius, and his LX521 speakers have been continually refined over decades to the point that they can now compete with any high end speaker on the planet. They may not be as artistic as the Nautilus, but I think Siegfried Linkwitz's magnum opus which was the realisation of his life's work deserves to be called iconic.
@@mpi5850 It like saying not to like Ferrari, people can't believe it! in fact I do not, I tracked them and if something catches fire or falls off, its a Ferrari, nope, not for everybody, the Nautilus are disappointingly unexciting - not for me!
The usual cabinet resonance distortion of the 800 series and Nautilus. Such cabinet resonance distortion was common 40 years ago, unacceptable for a modern high end speaker.
@@NawMan357To a Properly Trained Ear coming from the Recording Industry, Yes you can Hear Cabinet Resonances! They are also Measurable if you have the Necessary Equipment!💯
Really great speakers! Tracks: 2:20 - Your Heart is as Black as Night - Melody Gardeau 5:14 - Lost Without You - Freya Writings 7:37 - Queen Mary - Francine 13
Very transparent and uncolored sound. Not sure if it's the recording or because I'm listening on headphones but the "imaging" it terrible. The piano ans cymbals seem to stretch across the entire stage.
I spent a couple hours in that room with this gentleman and Michael Fremer running the TT. An amazing system, for sure. Those SF speakers are sounding amazing, even in a compromised room.
