Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus Floor Standing Speaker Pair

The Nautilus™ is more than a loudspeaker  it’s a statement of acoustic innovation and design excellence. Built with Bowers & Wilkins’ signature Nautilus™ tube-loading technology, this 4-way active loudspeaker system eliminates unwanted resonance and delivers breathtakingly natural sound across the full frequency range.

Each driver is meticulously engineered to handle a specific frequency band for optimal accuracy and dynamics: a powerful 300mm aluminium cone bass unit, a 100mm aluminium/polymer lower midrange, a 50mm aluminium dome upper midrange, and a 25mm aluminium dome tweeter for crystal-clear highs.

Designed with an active crossover and requiring four dedicated amplifier channels per speaker (100–300W continuous into 8Ω), the Nautilus™ achieves precise control and balance across all frequencies. With dispersion over a 60° horizontal and 10° vertical arc, it fills your space with lifelike sound.

The Nautilus™ is as visually striking as it is sonically refined, featuring an elegant sculptural form available in Midnight Blue, Black, or Silver. Each cabinet is handcrafted with meticulous attention to acoustic and aesthetic detail, weighing a solid 86.5kg (190 lb) for maximum stability and resonance control.
