Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus Floor Standing Speakers - (Pair)
Overview
Some loudspeakers are bought for how they sound, and a very few are also bought because they are works of art. The Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus has been both for 30 years.
Nautilus is Bowers & Wilkins' iconic floor-standing loudspeaker, instantly recognizable by the spiral form it takes its name from. Its long, tapered damping tubes gently absorb stray energy so the drive units can work optimally, and each pair is handmade, sprayed, polished and tuned by specialists at the company's Worthing, UK factory.
Bowers & Wilkins describes Nautilus as the pursuit of an ideal loudspeaker, and it informs the way the brand designs everything it makes. Many of the technologies developed for it are still used elsewhere across the current range of loudspeakers.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
Nautilus is a special-order loudspeaker, so the best first step is a conversation with our team about delivery timing and configuration before you commit. If you are weighing it against the 800 Series Diamond models, we can talk through how each one would suit your room and listening habits.
More Info
Why the Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus Stands Out
Tapered Damping Tubes
Long, tapered tubes let the drive units work optimally by gently absorbing stray energy.
Spiral Form
The spiral shape is how the design team packaged the unique Nautilus tubes for use in the home, and it is where the speaker gets its name.
Handmade at the Worthing Factory
Each pair is handmade, sprayed, polished and tuned by specialists at Bowers & Wilkins' Worthing, UK factory.
30 Years of Heritage
A revolution when it launched 30 years ago and still an icon today.
Technology That Carries Through
Many of the ground-breaking technologies used in Nautilus are used elsewhere across the Bowers & Wilkins loudspeaker range.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Collector: wants a loudspeaker that is as significant as an object as it is as a piece of audio equipment.
- The Reference Listener: values a handmade design tuned by specialists at the factory.
- The Design-Led Home: is planning a space where the loudspeakers are meant to be seen as well as heard.
How It Compares
Where the 801 D4 is a 3-way vented-box floorstander built from the technologies Bowers & Wilkins currently uses across its range, Nautilus is the speaker whose spiral form and ethos informed them. Each pair is handmade at the Worthing factory rather than being a conventional cabinet design.
