Has anyone compared these 2 speakers? The 635 replaced the 602, so I am curious about the difference in sound....

I own both the 602 and the new 685 - both great speakers, but B&W has outdone itself with the 685. Listening to them side by side, the 602 sounds midrangy, like the vocals are coming through a megaphone. The 685's get everything just right - the lows defy the laws of physics. The bass is punchy, uncompressed yet not overly done.
Again, I'm a fan of both speakers, both have great imaging, sound bigger than their physical size suggests. But side by side the 685 wins with it's midrange.Stereo: Revel F208, Parasound JC2, JC1's, Oppo HA-1, VPI, Dynavector, Moon

602's in my opinion look nicer but the 685 is the better speaker. Much improved highs and the bass is pretty impressive for the size. Overall great speaker for the money!dan87951
