Description
The Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus is a flagship 4-way tube-loaded floor-standing speaker, part of the Prestige Edition and hand-built alongside the 800 Series Diamond at the Worthing factory. Its distinctive tapering tube enclosures absorb stray energy from each driver, virtually eliminating resonance for exceptionally pure sound.
