Is it just me who is missing a 2½-way speaker a step up from the 600 series. I have come to this conclusion after hearing 804s,CM9 and 683 that I don't like the way the FST midrange sounds, i like the Mid/bass driver better,I just seen that they have added a 12" sub to the CM line, so maybe we will se a 2½-way speaker in the CM line at CEDIA,well that's just my wish anyway.

Interesting. I love the FST driver. Clearer, more open, and more detailed. I've compared back to back with non FST driven B&W's and liked the added detail and openness that the FST seems to have. What is it that you don't like about them and like about the bass/mid driver (although I personally have to admit they all sound very good and being a owner of the 804S, I could live life happily with just a pair of 685's and a good sub - they're all very good sounding when setup properly).- Bottom

Hi emig5m
I don't like the sound that you like in the FST, I like that the mid/bass driver has a bit more body and soul to it's way of presenting voices.Maybe I will give the 685 with a sub a listen,but I would prefer a 2½-way so you could hear music without the sub and still get some bass to the mix.- Bottom

"The term "audiophile" means essentially nothing -- it's a self-anointed status that entails no credentials, qualifications or certifications. It means "hobbyist," nothing more, and anyone can lay claim to it. Ironically, I've come to recognize that "audiophiles" represent a group that will believe almost anything"- Bottom
