Does B&W 683 lack excitement?
In whathifi.com review http://www.whathifi.com/Review/BandW-683-Theatre/ is written:
"Sure, it’s got genuine punch and substance in the low frequencies, and generates an expansive, well-integrated soundstage"
"In the dread calm before the inevitable storm, the B&W develops tension as effectively as any system."
"Loud, yet cautious
It’s the arrival of the storm that reveals the 683 Theatre’s major shortcoming. Despite having ample dynamic thrust on tap and being more than eager to deliver antisocial volumes, the B&W package is noticeably less engaging and enthusiastic than some of its rivals.
"
"When the going gets rowdy, the B&W goes good and loud, all right, but never throws caution to the wind – at all times, the sound is refined and restrained. "
"Those traits are essential at times, of course, but every now and then (about every five minutes in the case of Batman Begins) it’s necessary to sacrifice some refinement in the name of excitement. "
"Impressive to look at and, especially at low volumes, impressive to listen to – but we’d like a bit more excitement for our money"
"Against
Mistakes a lack of involvement for refinement"
I really got very disappointed after reading this review :cry:
