I'm asking the question is I and several others auditioned a pair of the B&W Nautilus racing snail speakers. They were used and going for 17K which I guess is around half what they sold for new. Anyway, I was the only one who didn't like them. I felt the midrange was so forward it was like being slapped in the face at volume. I assumed it was just me as I have had the same speakers for over 30 years and don't have much experience with other speakers. My Altecs are noted for their midrange but you have to crank them up to well over 100db before they are in your face.
