this is what I don't understand. people have a preconcieved notion that HiFi speakers add to a sound to make it more appealing. This is true in the regular consumer lines that you might find in your local Futureshop, but go up the foodchain abit to mid-high end hifi/home theater speakers and it's totally different. The majority of these companies strive for true neutrality. I would argue that many hifi speakers do a better job than so-called 'sudio monitors' (for the same price).
"Throughout his lifetime, John Bowers, the founder of B&W Loudspeakers, strove relentlessly to get as close as possible to a transparent reproduction of recorded sound."
"Alan Parsons is highly regarded in the recording industry. Principal engineer on Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon', and producer of Al Stewart's 'Year of the Cat', Alan has worked with Paul McCartney, and has ten Grammy Award nominations to his name. Himself a dedicated musician (The Alan Parsons Project), the former chief recording engineer at EMI's Abbey Road Studios says of the new loudspeakers: "The Nautilus 800 Series will undoubtedly make a major impact on the professional recording world, and influence loudspeaker technology well into the millenium."
This was said about the nautilus 800 serious, a level down from the Nautilus (pictured in my previous post).
The Nautilus' design is specifically engineered to remove every trace of internal resonance (which could potentially colour the sound). The Seashell like bass driver was constructed in that fasion because it "delivered the most natural and untainted sound".
Seriously, these speakers would be EXACTLY what you want for monitors.
