Description B&W Nautilus
NAUTILUS The speaker par excellence
Beyond conventions
The Nautilus is very different from a conventional diffuser: in order to be able to use our Nautilus ducts also in the home, our designers have developed the impactful, space-saving spiral shape from which the diffuser takes its name.
Shaped by sound
At a glance, you can immediately see that the Nautilus is no ordinary speaker and, after nearly a quarter century, it still defines high-end audio.
Redefining sound
The long tapered ducts were a real revolution, allowing the drivers to perform optimally by gently absorbing energy losses
Creating a classic
Along with the 800 Series Diamond, the Nautilus is hand built to order by a dedicated and skilled team in the Worthing factory
Discover the magic
Building complex shapes and highly precise drivers takes decades of experience and a tremendous attention to detail
But why a conduit?
We wanted to listen to the speaker driver, not its unintended effects – the closed box design is usually capable of capturing audio coming from the back of the driver, but this solution has its problems too. The tapered conduits of the Nautilus absorb unstable energy, reducing resonances.
Setting the standard for the future
We created the Nautilus' impactful coils and tubes because we wanted the speaker drivers to work exactly the way we do: Nautilus Tube™ technology, for which we won a Queen's Award for Innovation, is now featured in almost all of our loudspeakers .
A lasting legacy
The Nautilus is much more than a design object: its technology is now present in almost all B&W loudspeakers
Object of desire
Admired in fine design museums and in all listening rooms, the Nautilus has received the "Millennium Award" and many other awards
Invest in sound
Innovative design, precision machining and stringent testing ensure that the nautilus is a pleasure to both the eye and the ear
Infinite colors
The Nautilus is available in three standard colors: midnight blue, black and silver. But, as befits such a special diffuser, B&W also offers a service that allows you to select your preferred colour.
