    Advice on best settings for 685 and HTM62

    Hi,

    I'm using the following for a 100% HT

    B&W 685 Bookshelf
    B&W HTM62 Centre
    Inwall rear speakers
    Velodyne SPL-1200R

    My A/V Receiver supports setting the speakers to SMALL or LARGE and then also allows a crossover setting.

    I've tried setting them all to SMALL and 80hz with the subwoofer at 40hz, which sounded okay, but I feel I could be getting better sound out of them...

    any ideas?

          Center Channel in Cabinet - B&W 685 or HTM62?
          by dmiranda
          I've had my setup for a couple of months with 2 x 685, 2 x M1 and an REL T5 Sub.

          Now its time to buy the CC. I haven't auditioned any speaker but from what I've read common sense choices are the HTM62 or another 685.

          There is one last variable to consider and is the space...

          Please Help: HTM61 or 62 with 685?
          by frog2frog
          Hi All

          I am a newbie with speakers. I am planing to get the B&W685 for my L&R ASW610 for sub, but not sure which centre (HTM61 or 62) to match it with.

          I know B&W suggest using HTM62 with the 685. In terms of spec, the HTM61 has the FST midrange and it goes...

          HTM61 & 683 vs. HTM62 and 685/686
          by nirvana_1911
          Just done some critical listening, auditioned B&W and A/B comparisons at the local hifi/HT store.

          Is it just me or does the HTM61 sound much, much better than the HTM62?

          Also, the 683 sounds so much better than the 685/686 for stereo listening?

          I was...

          by ebaran
