Finally got the 603 s3 last night conected them to rotel rsx1056,and they sound fantastic.All i need to do now is save up to replace mismatched center(def.tech. c2)for a lcr600 and replace surrounds(def.tech.Promonitor 100)with either the 600s3 or 601s3.Overall though the def.tech. center did not sound bad at all.I played the riddick dvd and sounded fantastic.I actually had calibrated with test tones and rat shack meter when i first conected them and to my surprise i really did'nt have to change any spkr settings,is this unusual?Speakers are set to small w/80 crossover.I also set them to large sub no for stereo .

well...I wouldn't worry about it too much since the speakers are still brand new, can't expect to sound its best anyways til they're broken in. Did you actually compare the 603s with anything else in the B&W line? I'm asking because I'm contemplating between staying within 600s or upgrade to the 700s/800s bookshelves. -
actually the speakers were slightly used.But u cant tell by looking at them.There is a possibility that they are not broken in,since last user used them in a bedroom setup and only used them moderatly if any.Comment

Rick, glad to hear you got them, and I'm really glad you like them!!! They will definitely, over time, grow on you (whether it's speaker breakin or listener breakin). The 600s have the wall mounting bracket if you are going to mount the rears to the wall, my friend has them and they don't sound bad. However, you can tell the difference on the 601s, they are a little more clear and image a lot better...but they have no mounting bracket and you would need to either put them on shelves or stands.
BlazeMaster - To me, I couldn't find any reason to upgrade to the 700 series over the 600. There is difference, but price wise, just didn't seem worth it. The 800 series is a definite improvement though...so I think if you have the money (and power to push them) you would want to head up to the 800 series if you can. Almost like cutting out the middle man so to speak.Digital Audio makes me Happy.

My dedicated HT room (which I'm still in the process of completing) will have a Rotel 1056 receiver, a Denon 2910 DVD, two 603 S3s in the fronts, and 2 602 S3s in the rear. I am going to drive my fronts with a separate amp, a McCormack DNA-1, in order to free up the receiver's power supply (I already... -
I am about to buy the rsp1066 pre and rmb1075 amp and am undecided as to whether to go for
the DM603 S3s or the new 700 Series:704 or 705s (essentially an updated version the CDM NT series) as fronts. Can people tell me if there will be an major audible difference between the 2 and if so, is... -
Hi guys,
Long time browser, first time poster.
I have 3 speakers in my setup powered by an Adcom Gfa-6000 5 channel amp. 2 603 S3s and an LCR600. The speakers are set to large on my processor, as I don't have a sub yet.
I was watching a move a few nights ago at a... -
I finally got the lcr600 to go with my 603s3's.They sound awesome for ht.Even in stereo i have the 603s3 set to large w/sub and they are great all by themselves.I will probably get the surrounds to complete the setup early next year.Will probably get the 601s3 since they have to be wall mounted.I believe... -
I have new 602 s3's and have the option to trade for 603 s2's even. The 603 s2's have been used as rear speakers on a rotel 5.1/b&w system for 3 years. The 603's are my brothers and he feels he doesn't really utilize them because that are surrounds only. He is simply offering as a favor.
