Launched alongside the N801 was the actual range-topper, the Nautilus 800, the single 380mm bass replaced by a pair of 250mm units. It cost more, at well over £10,000 per pair, but was slimmer, easier for amplifiers to drive and didn’t need a huge room to work well.

Bowers & Wilkins (as the company is now) went on to introduce diamond tweeters with the 800D range, now in its D4 iteration. The Nautilus itself is still listed, with a 30th anniversary edition launched last year at a mere £100,000 per pair. But there is a waiting list.
