Sonus Faber & Nautilus Set Up. It's tough to synchronize gain control on B&W, but after a few weeks of tweaking, it has become a marvelous speaker. I found Stradivari to be a better speaker in many dimensions. A bit dissapointed at B&W's depth of bass, but still beautiful to look. Great WAF!

You should run the nautilus on its own without a another set of speakers next to them. Nautilus has an extremely flat frequency response that could be cocked up by placing them next to some other drivers. Bass extension is not an issue as these babies are flat to 10 hz. The upper mid dome has a ruler flat response. I have listened to them for many hours whilst they were in development at B&W.
