    Trading in My 602s + lcr60 for...

    Hi guys,

    if you visited my thread "serious problem with my 600series". You would know my situation.
    Anyway today I went to the store and asked the rep about the foams. We quickly started conversing about my sound issue. We went to the listening room but, he only had 603s and 604s available. So I listened to those. The 604s definitely have the better sound for me. Much more enveloped, precise sound. He made me an irrefusable deal, along with the lcr600. I'm really tempted to go for it. Basically spending about 1000 bucks more. This includes:

    604s
    lcr600
    hifi specktra table
    full installation (clean up the mess the previous installer made wire-wise)

    What do you guys think? I have the layout of my room in the other post. Is it worthwhile? Please tell me soon, 'cause I have a few days next week and the delivery could be ready for then. Cheers fellas

      My opinion is that why not you ask your dealer to let you take home those 604s for audition for a week or so, that way you can see how much different the 604s can make compared to the 602s you owned.

          You should 1) bring the speakers you purchase and listen to them at the dealership or 2) ask to audition the other speakers in your home. Most high end dealership will let you borrow the speakers for 24-48 hours, sometimes with a safety deposit or just a credit card. Then you can see if it's your home layout or the speakers themselves. Good luck.

              Cheers for the advice. The technician is coming over with the new ones. We will test them and if I'm satisfied I will go ahead and keep them. I just read on the b&w homepage that the 604s are suited for larger rooms. Though, I've seen some home layouts on this site with people with 800s in 3 by 5s meters. Would they really be that big for my 3 by 6 room?

                  Believe it or not, the way the room is furnished makes a big difference. You really need to hear 'em at home to decide. You've got a pretty good dealer if he'll bring 'em over to ya. Let us know what you hear. Oh and yeah, to my ear, when I listened to the 600 series, the 604's were substantially better.

                      i think the 602 is still the best among the 600's, not to
                      mention the price.( IMHO )

                          A balanced system - 803s therapy from those who've moved up B&W's line
                          by zilla
                          I've gone from the 600 to the 800 series and have a hodge podge of speakers now. I've made the best of it but have hit a wall. This is going to be lengthy but I'll keep it as brief as I can (not one of my gifts) and appreciate the assistance of any who run the gauntlet.

                          The primary dilemma...

                          Hello guys,

                          I just got 604s today. I tried, and compared them at the dealership and found their sound to be perfect for my pocket range. So they arrived today and sound great, but OMG are they huge! I've been comparing the dimensions with the other series and these are...

                          Should I keep 600s/exchange for 602s?
                          by BlazeMaster
                          Hi, everyone I just got my 600s almost 2 weeks ago, and am thinking about exchanging the 600s for 602s. I can then put the 602s in front to match the LCR600 better and keep my 601s that I have as fronts right now and then use them for surrounds. The price difference would only be about $300. The...

                          Center to go with B&W 602s
                          by dew
                          What do you guys think about using an htm2 with 602s? I used to have a B&W cnt and it sounded great with the 602s. I got rid of it a few years ago and now I want to get another center. Eventually I'll want to upgrade the 602s so it won't be too big of a deal if they don't mesh perfectly. Any...
