&lt;p&gt;Have you seen the Nautilus in the flesh? They're not as beautiful as you'd expect. There's something a little 'dumpy' about the appearance. Their plinths also remind me of old weathered statues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wonderful sound though, but the BeoLab 5s are much better sonically. Having heard BeoLab 5s with a mains conditioner (which really, really surprised me), I'd say the 5s would happily take on any of those speakers sonically, call me silly &lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/04.gif" alt="Stick out tongue" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: The worlds 15 se*iest speakers... ;)</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/77450.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:10:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:77450</guid><dc:creator>AT</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/77450.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=77450</wfw:commentRss><description>&amp;quot;Nothing wrong with this word at all but it will just slow down the appearance of your reply until a moderator approves it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank You for the info, I was just wondered about the premoderation, but I didn&amp;#39;t&amp;nbsp;knew&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;reason...&amp;nbsp;and thanks for editing the subject :)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: The worlds 15 se*iest speakers... ;)</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/77435.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jan 2008 12:13:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:77435</guid><dc:creator>Stars</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/77435.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=77435</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Out of all of those I would take a pair of BeoLab 5s and happily decline the rest!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: The worlds 15 se*iest speakers... ;)</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/77412.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jan 2008 11:16:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:77412</guid><dc:creator>beocool</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/77412.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=77412</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;tom:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;where are the other 14 good-looking speakers???
