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.- Bottom

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.Originally posted by kmchengI have not heard the VM6 myself, but the VM1 clearly sounded inferior to the M-1 during my audition.

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.

by RoManHi all,
I'm trying to decide on whether I should purchase a pair of DS3's or CM1 S2's to complete my 7.1 home theater setup. I have all CM series speakers in my 5.1 setup currently. According to the Dolby site I see the surrounds would move to the sides of my couch(at ear level) and the...-

by LinmuseI'm in the process of fitting out a 7.5m x 4.5m x 2.9m (24.75'x14.85'x9.75') room for HT.
The floor will be 19mm(3/4") solid timber boards on timber batons. The batons are fixed to a concrete slab and there's a 80mm(3") air gap between floor boards and slab.
My question is:...-
