It takes a lot to make me jealous, but to the Home Theater Magazine staff who got to tour the B&W factory... You guys suck, I'm jealous as hell.

Check out the link below for their tour and some build pics of the sexy B&W Nautilus.


B&W Factory Tour

The world famous Nautilus speaker awaits the hand spray, paint, polish, lacquer treatment. The Nautilus is Bowers and Wilkins longest series in production; since 1993. There is currently a year waiting list and any color combination is possible.


Wow.

Wow indeed, though its nothing like the fanfare that goes along with the purchase of a speaker like the Wilson Alexandria. You don't get a personal visit from Bowers or Wilkins when you buy the Nautilus.

I got to fondle the Nautilus' they had at the Jaguar booth behind closed doors at the Detroit Auto Show. They were pretty sexy.

The b&w dvd gives some more insight as well.

Dave Kay,

The Wilson Alexandria also costs about $135,000. The B&W Nautilus costs $45,000 last time I heard.

I believe the Nautilus is currently $60k per pair. There are a lot of speakers over $100k where I am pretty sure they just ship them to you without anything too special in terms of treatment. Maybe I'm wrong though, if someone bought a $100k+ pair of speakers from me I'd make them friggin breakfast in bed.
