    685/686 rears with 603 fronts?

    I was in the process of acquiring the DM601 surrounds to go with my 603 fronts but now I understand that BnW has new version of the 600 series. Please advice whther I should go with my initial idea or it might be worth to get the new rears. Another idea would be to try to trade-in my 603 for the 684 fronts - is this a smart idea?

    Thanks

    Hi there, the best way to do it is to demo the new series at your dealer. Listen to them then decide if you like the way they sounds so that you won't regret making the wrong decisions.
    There should be improvements in the new 600 series but i've read that a few negative opinion about it.

      If I decide to buy the 683 as fronts, at first I wound't buy a subwoofer.

      The main doubt I have is about the central channel. I've read that the htm1 isn't...

      Hello,

      as a long-time fan of B&W I have enjoyed my 68x-series theatre (fronts: 685, center: htm62, rear: 686 with a BK XXLS400 sub on a Marantz SR5003) for many years now. However, recently I have upgraded my job and now it's time for the speakers to follow suit. I absolutely love...
