My opinion-
I own 3 CT7.3. Love them. Originally had two CT7.5's for rears, but returned them after a week because I thought they were terrible. I replaced them with CCM818s and couldn't be happier. I know of 1 other person in my area who, after I put my system together, purchased an identical one, with three 7.3's and CCM817s.
My intent was to build a false wall and recess the speakers and have a screen, but after I bought the speakers, I had knee surgery, then went mountain climbing and worked all around Alaska, so my original intent with purchasing them hasn't been met. I have been happier than hell with them, but they are going to be replaced with 803Di's this Christmas.
The other guy I know that has this setup also happens to have Linn speakers with Halcro amps for his stereo, and has actually said he's upset that he spent as much as he did on that setup because of how good the B&W's are, and he has listened to 802D's and did not enjoy them.
I had 604s3 previously after moving throughout the 600 series line, and there is no comparison. I have compared the CM5 to the CT7.5 and the CM 5 was much cleaner sounding, but I'd take my 7.3's over CM9's. Never heard 7.4, but I think the FST is awesome. I'd easily recommend 7.3, but hesitate to recommend anything else in the line. Definitely not the 7.5 though. That was the only B&W speaker I've ever heard that I did not like.

Hi guys. I started putting together my Rotel system back in March, with the purchase of a silver RB-1080, which I was driving with the pre-outs of an 870BX integrated. The sound through the JBL LX60's was SWEET. In July, I managed to shell for a RC-1070. These two make a sweet combo!!! Next on the list... -
I do. It was sometime in the year 2003 when me and a buddy was on a rampage to go all around to every hi-fi store/dealer and hear different speakers and systems. It was the N801s with a HTM1 as a center, Nautilus SCM1s for rears with a flagship Velodyne sub in a dedicated and treated room. And although... -
Hi guys, I would like to hear from anyone that has heard the Australian made Orpheus speakers, particularly the Aurora 3's.
These are probably not very well known outside of Oz and are not widely marketed from what I can tell.
They use quality components and get great reviews.... -
I'm not talking about at your dealers. Has anyone with say 685s or even 802D heard their own model speakers in a mates system or elsewhere, and how did it compare with your own setup.
I would have heard about 20 different high end systems in various peoples homes over the past 2 years... -
I've left well enough alone in Audio Hideout for too long- time to stir up a little trouble...
Let's see a show of hands first... how may of you have heard of Dick Baker?
OK, maybe you haven't heard of him, but you've heard of a Baker Clamp? (If you've ever designed switch...
