Default B&W Nautilus 804 inner wiring modification

My questions stand as is, if there is no reason to think otherwise, the
wire is as good for it's purpose as it gets, possible exceptions being
such things as the gauge is too small etc. , but this would be revealed in
answering the questions. If one thinks the wire lacks the majic ingredient
known only to exist in wire other then that used in the speaker, well what
can one say; and how exactly does one not know it does not exist in the
existing wire and in spades. The manufacture would have to be very
desperate for cash to skimp on a few inches of wire gauge, in which case
the entire design would be suspect and support for tossing the product
well considered. A more likely diagnosis in this instance is audio
nervosa.


By what criteria do you think the wire inside the box inferior? In the
crossover filter is several meters of wire, is it too not quality wire?
Do you judge the technical design poor for including this wire? Do you
think those who designed the speaker would also include wire that was not
perfectly capable of performing to the specifications of the design?
Unless you have informed answers to the above I would suggest leaving the
wire as it is. If you doubt the technical qualifications or honesty of
the manufacture, then you should perhaps sell this product for being a
failure.


It doesn't work exactly like that. Designs from even great factories can
usually easily be improved. Only in the last few years have there been
completely tweeked assembly line luidspeakers. It's kinda like asking
yourself could a good Mercedes be improved by AMG, or a good Ford Mustang be
improved by Cobra. (Cooper and Mini also come to mind) There are reasons for
this. Big names with pricing in the regular guy's budget have to play it
safe and often purposely de-tune an otherwise aggressive design voor
economic and sometimes marketing reasons. Also technology moves on. I would
not want the inductors from 10 years ago in my speakers.

Hello everyone

I'm planning to change all inner wirings of 804, as they are quite
poor compared to general quality of finishing and sound.
Has anyone made these kind of modifications on nautilus ser. or even
better if on 804? Any special instructions, pics or hints are welcome,
like to know where am I heading.
