    I've not heard it but I'd imagine it's pretty good. It has the same drivers as the CM1 just in a different enclosure. I'm sure it's better than the M1.

        Yes, regardless of version. Which version do you have by the way?

          The Bitterness of poor quality last longer than the joy of low prices.

                  I have not heard the VM6 myself, but the VM1 clearly sounded inferior to the M-1 during my audition. Even my wife could tell the difference, and they were being sold at the same price!

                  Unless B&W substantially improves the VM6, I would recommend getting the M-1 for rears. Also check out the 685/686 when you go to the dealer. I believe that the VM6 is getting very close to the price points of the 600 series, which should certainly match the timber of your other 600 series speakers.

                  The M-1 does have two big drawbacks: 1. The B&W-designed stands are grossly overpriced and they are your only option if you have to put the M-1 on stands. 2. The M-1 are a big pain to set up.

                    The VM1 is older that the M1 and I do agree with you that the M1 sounds better. That said, the VM1 is targeted at a different application than the M1 so the VM1 is the right product sometimes.

                    The VM6 is a totally different speaker than the VM1. The VM6 has the same drivers as the CM1. It's just a different enclosure. I'm sure the VM6 sounds much better, and bigger, than the M1.
