    B&W 640i and HTM61 center channel

    I recently purchased a pair of B&W 640i for $300. Excellent condition
    previous owner did not used it for years. I am now looking for a center
    channel to match the speaker.
    Is the HTM61 good match for the 640i?

    Also where can I get B&W speaker spikes besided B&W company?

    Thanks in advance!

      I would not go for the HTM61.. I used to have one and it wasn't even a good match for the 683s it goes with. But I am hard on centers..

      You might consider the CMC2, but it is a bit pricier then the HTM61..

      You can find speaker spikes almost anywhere (Ebay etc.) The B&W spikes are nothing special...
      Main System:
      B&W 801D
      Emotiva USP-1 Pre-Amp
      Chord SPM-650 Stereo Amp
      Oppo BDP-105
      Squeezebox Touch


      Second System:
      B&W CM7
      Emotiva UMC-1
      Emotiva UPA-2
      Oppo BDP-83SE
      Grant Fidelity DAC-09

          A lot of negative reviews on htm61 I will do research on cmc2 . My friend has a 602 s1. I don't know how well it will perform as a center channel

              by Jim Holtz
              You can't have a new speaker without a new center channel to compliment it for home theater.

              Statements II and The Finalists Center Channel

              During the last several years the original Statements have been frequently used as mains for home theater systems. The original Statements...

              CMC2 or HTM4s to match with 683 S1?
              by dickers
              Long time reader, but only recently a member.

              I recently replaced my Paradigm Studio 60 with B&W 683 S1 speakers. My usage is 80% HT and 20% music and I love them. I now need to find a matching center channel. Based on the bad reviews of the HTM61 S1, those are out of the question....

              My thoughts on the new CMC2 center channel
              by btf1980
              I decided to upgrade my CMC center channel to the new CMC2 center channel, and I can wholeheartedly say that it has been a very sound decision. In terms of size, the CMC2 is a lot larger than the CMC. The CMC2, while far from being the largest center channel in the world is still deceptively heavy....

              B&W 600 vs. CM series - cost vs. benefit?
              by nirvana_1911
              I have the B&W 683, HTM61, 685 and Velodyne SPL1200U.

              I done some listening at the local store, A/B testing various 600 and CM series gear.

              With the 685 and CM5, the CM5 has less low-end, but has much better clarity and resolution, sounds stronger in the high mids and...

              Please Help: HTM61 or 62 with 685?
              by frog2frog
              Hi All

              I am a newbie with speakers. I am planing to get the B&W685 for my L&R ASW610 for sub, but not sure which centre (HTM61 or 62) to match it with.

              I know B&W suggest using HTM62 with the 685. In terms of spec, the HTM61 has the FST midrange and it goes...
