B&W described the speaker as follows: "The Nautilus 802 borrows from the advanced, unique technology of the stunning B&W Nautilus to provide world-class performance. Three matched drivers are each housed in completely independent enclosures, to reduce common mode and internal resonances. B&W's legendary "Tweeter on Top" design is thus extended to the midrange unit, to provide holographic imaging beyond that possible from conventional box designs. In addition, B&W's famous Matrix enclosure reinforcement and Flow Port technologies are employed for state-of-the-art performance."
