802D

The 802D uses the same midrange and tweeter layout as the larger 800D and 801D, but its twin bass drivers are housed in a narrower and more compact cabinet, making it ideal for those listeners that value the detail and imaging of the larger systems, but prefer a smaller aspect.

Despite its smaller volume and footprint, the 802D actually yields surprisingly little to its larger brethren in terms of bass extension and there is ample output capability for the majority of applications.

Although the styling is clearly based on its predecessor, the Nautilus™ 802, it has been revised and enhanced by changes to the plinth, the underside of the cabinet and the way the tweeter sits on the midrange enclosure. For those who prefer to operate the speaker with the grille in place, its curving profile detail lifts the whole look of the cabinet.

All three models that have aluminium plinths are supplied with roller glides for easy manœuvrability. These may be replaced by optional heavy-duty feet if preferred. This new foot design is double-ended, with a spike for carpeted floors at one end and a clear, non-marking rubber pad at the other for more vulnerable surfaces. A total of 40mm (1.6 in) height adjustment is possible, which allows a few degrees of tilt if necessary.
