    There's noticeable difference. In a word "clarity".

      602.5 was a disappointment. 602 was better.

          before you spend any money, I highly recommend the 685s. I bought them unheard because of my recent relocation but I've been picking up my jaw for the last few days since I got them. Now, my main system back home includes a pair of 801N driven by Krell 650mc monos so my expectations was not alot for a $400/used pair but man, they sucker punched me big time. The funny thing is that they are driven by a tiny Wadia PowerDAC 151 with 25w/ch at 8ohm. Having owned most of the nautilus line, I have to say B&W outdone themselves with these little monitors. The details, bass and midrange as good as my 805N at home at 25% the cost.

            by muckyd
            I'm new to this forum.

            I can't decide if I should get the DM602 or DM603 for the for the front speakers. I am going to get the DM601 for the rears and LCR600 for the center. I've listened to both 602/603 several times - the 602 seems 'brighter' - I asked the salesman about this and he...

            602 S3 vs 602.5 S3 vs 603
            by benxx
            Looking for a HT system for a relatively small living room. The listen area is 12X11, with the kitchen and walk way adding another 12X10 to the right side. Music/video 50:50

            I think I would get a Rotel 1056 and a pair of 601s as rear speakers. Was wondering should I pick 602 or 602.5...

            by dan87951

I'm a little dissapointed that B&W didn't update the 602's!! The 602's were my first B&W speakers I bought and got me hooked...
