    DM 603 s1 vs DM 603 s3

    Hi,

    I can get DM 603 s1 (new, probably old stock) or DM 603 s3 (used ones, about 3-4 years) for about the same price. This is for fronts. For the center channel, I am using LCR 600 S3 and DM 602 s2 for rear speakers.

    Which one is a better choice and better value for money. Will the s1 match well with the center channel. What are the differences in s1 and s3.

    Thanx For all the help guys.

    I haven't heard the s1's so I can't really comment on how they compare with the S3s. However, I think you'll get a better match to your LCR 600 with the 603 S3's.

    As an aside, I used to own the 603 S3's and I can tell you they are a phenomenal speaker for the price. I sold them to a friend when I moved to 703s, and I still get a chance to listen to them from time to time. They still amaze me. They were also chosen as Stereophile's budget component of the year a few years back.

      Get the DM603S3s. It's a better speaker and a better match for your center. There are major differences between the Series 3s and Series 1s. The tweeters in the Series 3 speakers use a better dome and a Nautilus tube. The Kevlar mid-woofers have an improved voice coil assembly and the woofer is wholly better. Lastly the crossovers are simpler and better.

        Get the S3. More refined speaker.
