When were the current 600 series released? I have the 683's. Has anyone herd of the replacement/updated models for the series? Does B&W typically re vamp each line every 4 years?

I believe it was the end of 2007 beginning of 2008.. I got my 683 in Jan of 2008 and had to wait until about March to get the HTM61 center.
As far as revamps, I have not heard of one, but that does not mean that it is not happening. I think B&W's typical life cycle is ~5years.

I have a Pioneer VSX-LX52, it was around $1,899AUD MSRP and considering upgrading to the Emotiva gear above, which will cost a similar price.

Hi everyone,
I'm a new user here but have been lurking since 2007 before I bought my 600 series speakers. This has always seemed like a very civil group and I thank you all for that! With that in mind, please understand that I am not looking to get into any arguments on this topic.

Several posts around the forum got me thinking about the popularity of the different B&W series of speakers. I believe of the three primary series (600, 700 and 800) the 600 series is by far the most popular. While the 800 series is reserved for the hi-end esoteric the 600 series is the entry...600 Series22.54%32700 Series16.20%23800 Series50.00%71Other B&W Series (Past and Present)11.27%16
