    B&W HTM3S vs HTM7

    A couple of days ago I finally replaced my B&W HTM7 with a HTM3S to go with my 804S fronts. I can definitely tell the difference between the two. The only way I can describe it is - the 800 series 'warmth' vs. the 700 series 'brightness'. Now the center blends in much better with the fronts.

    I think it was well worth the money for me, especially since I got 100% trade in price for the HTM7.

    See pics in the pictures thread.

    Great news. I'm installing my HTM3S and 804S's today and I'm not too keen on an overbright sound. What cable are you using?

      The speaker wires are 10ga.

      If you're looking for good cables try CAT cables - a forum sponsor.

        htm7 or htm4s for 7 series
        by alpina
        hi guys,

        think the easiest way to get to the bottom of this is by quick poll

        in a system comprising on 703 fronts, 705 surrounds, aws 700 or 750 rear, which center channel would be better suited between the htm7 or htm4s? we have heard a lot of negatives re htm7 (ie, poor...

        Htm3s + ((804s + Asw825) Or 803s)?
        by csuzor
        I am trying to decide which is the better option
        1. HTM3S + 804S + ASW825
        2. HTM3S + 803S

        The price is similar (a little more for option 1), and I know option 2 could be upgraded in the future with the ASW825, but I have to limit myself a little.

        I feel the...

        HTM7 a good idea in a 603/602 system?
        by FSonicSmith
        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...

        704/htm7 to 804s/htm3s, what about surrounds?
        by mafoo
        I'm likely going to be trading up my 704/HTM7 combo for 804s/HTM3S. My surrounds are currently DS7's, and am wondering what I really have to gain for trading up to SCMS or DS8s. From specs, it looks like bottom end might drop from 80Hz +/-3db to 60Hz +/-3db. The primary of use of my surrounds is for...

        HTM3s or new HTM4 Diamond?
        by RedRock
        Hello,
        I'm new to the forum and would like some advise on which B&W center speaker would best match the new 804 diamonds. My choices are the HTM3s, new HTM4-diamond, or the new HTM2-diamond. It seems that the HTM3s may be a good match based on the configuration (3-way) and equivalent size...
