To create the ultimate 5.1 environment, Skywalker Sound has added B&W Nautilus 802 speakers, powered by Chord Amplifiers with MIT cables. ""We have been looking for the best combination of speakers, amplifiers and cables. This system sounds fantastic with all types of music, and allows us to provide our clients with the best possible midfield monitoring environment to record and mix in,"" stated Leslie Ann Jones, Director of Music Recording and Scoring at Skywalker Sound. ""We are extremely proud that Skywalker Sound has chosen the Naultilus 802s for their 5.1 monitoring system,"" states Chris Browder, Executive Vice President of B&W Loudspeakers. ""The Nautilus 802s are unique in their ability to exploit -- fully -- the rigorously demanding dynamic range of the best modern recordings, and they do so with the lowest distortion or coloration ever achieved by such designs.
