B&W 600 Series Advice

[jbarnes77]

I have the following surround amp Denon AVR 2803, Denon 2200 dvd player and a 37in panasonic plasma and looking to purchase the following B&W speakers:

683 - Fronts
HTM61 - Centre
686 - Rears with B&W stands

Will get a sub later if needs be.

Hoping to get some your expert advice - many thanks

Cant speak for the whole of your system but I just auditioned Kef iQ5se's and the B&W 683's today, purchased the 683. Even the wife prefered the 683s and was suprised that she could hear the difference and had such a definate opinion.

Rather more then I planned to spend just hoping it goes with the rest of the set up and works in our rather small room (12'x13') but the sales guy in SuperFi said they were both easy to position and drive. Plan to get a centre next (HTM62 - will fit our rack) followed by an Amp upgrade later in the year. Big fan of second user kit hoping to get a Yammy DSP Z9 at sensable dosh, but thats for much later in the year.

See my sig for current kit list and hoping we like the 683's as much when they arrive....fingers crossed.

All I know is I have older 600 series speakers in my setup and can't recommend B&W enough anymore.

Absolutely top notch and I wouldn't hesitate to buy any product of theirs with no audition - how's that for a satisfied customer

Got DM 604 S3's here (683's with bigger drivers), very satisifed with them and even the missus likes them Pain in the ass to move though as they weigh a ton.
