OT: Selling a pair of speakers, glad to give anyone here first crack...

One pair of immaculate B&W Nautilus 805's in black ash. Boxes, packing, etc. like new. Just broken in. New retail $2K for the pair, I'll sell to a forum member for $1200.

Actually, now that you mention it, they're aluminum! And the ports are dimpled! How appropriate :-)

You wouldn't happen to have the stands for them as well.

...and what would possess you to get rid of such an amazing pair of speakers?

The factory stands are good for looks;

Check these if you want the speakers to give all their potential:<ul><li><a href="http://www.soundanchors.com/page32.html">Sound Anchors dedicated stands</a></li></ul>

Sorry, I was tired last night, here's why I'm selling the B&W's:

I own 2 other pairs of main speakers. I bought the B&W's to try them out. They are broken in, and sound great in my system... but not in my room :-(
My room is too bright for them, and it's time for my quest to move on, so,
gotta sell the B&W's, so I can fund my quest :-)

Oh, and no, I did not get the matching stands as I have excellent stands already, which I intend to keep. :-)
