Thanks Guys,

As you probably know I've got 3x huge B&W Nautilus 801s, and I'm toying with the idea of a single box solution with a higher WAF factor, and easier operation. single button start-up etc.

Also the "boot-up" operation would be easier with a SB3 straight into a DSP5500 solution.

I'm being offered the set-up ex demo at $30k which is about GBP 10,700.

I had a good 2 hours listen earlier in the week and was very impressed. However the bi-amped Nautilus go much much lower, and the bass is superior too. On the plus sound the 3x 55ks integrate wonderfully, and the imaging is great.

My conclusion on 1st listening is that the DSPs are a superior set-up for films, but the Nautilus 801's have the edge on Hi-Fi.

I appreciate this is an Apples and Oranges comparison and I should really be comparing the M.7k or even 8ks but my budget does stretch to this.

Can anyone tell me what they think of the price of GBP 10,700 for this set-up?
