I just recently purchased the 685 as my main speakers , and the 686 for the rear surround speakers. I don't want to buy the FS-700 CM because of the price. What speaker stands do ya'll recommend for each pair (685) (686) ?

No prob!!
I've also found that if you drill a hole the size of your speaker wire you are using in the bottom plate and the back of one of the legs you can hide it better. Those stands don't give you a way to run the wire through the stand so I had to make a way for here in the store and our clients.Magnepan,ARC,VTL,Transparent Audio ;x(

The biggest spec that stood out to me is that... -
HI all

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?

Took my 685's off rear duty tonight to play around with them as front mains to see how they would work with my new sub (which is ironic because just ten months ago I was the most anti-sub for 2-channel music person out there until I learned how to seamlessly integrate).
