Highlights

Redefining sound 

The long, tapered damping tubes were a revolution, allowing the drive units to work optimally by gently absorbing stray energy. 

Shaped by sound 

At a glance, you can see Nautilus is No ordinary speaker, and after nearly three decades it still defines high-end audio. 

Making magic 

Constructing the complex shapes and precision drive units demands decades of experience and exacting attention to detail. 

Crafting a classic 

Nautilus speakers are hand-built to order, alongside the 800 Series Diamond™, by a dedicated specialist team in our Worthing factory. 

A lasting legacy 

Nautilus is more than a design option: its techNology is Now found in almost every speaker we make. 

An object of desire 

Seen in design museums as well as listening rooms, Nautilus received the Millennium Award and many more accolades. 

A sound investment 

InNovative design, precision manufacturing and exhaustive testing ensure Nautilus delights the ear as well as the eye. 

Infinite colors 

Nautilus comes in three standard colors: silver, black and midnight blue. But, as befits such a unique speaker, we also offer a special service that can match any color you specify. 

Setting the standard for the future 

The striking spirals and tubes of Nautilus came from our research into making speaker drive units behave as we wanted: this Nautilus Tube™ techNology, for which we won a Queen's Award for InNovation, is Now found in almost every speaker we make. 

Thinking beyond the box 

Nautilus is quite unlike a conventional box speaker: to package our unique Nautilus tubes for use in the home, our designers developed the striking, and space-efficient, spiral form from which the speaker takes its name. 

But why the Nautilus tube? 

We want to hear a speaker driver, Not its side-effects – conventional boxes contain sound from the rear of the driver, but bring their own problems. Nautilus tapering tubes soak up wayward energy and reduce resonances to the point of insignificance.
