    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 Mikael
            I was at my local dealer to hear the CM7 and CM9, and the salesman told me that there will soon be a CM8 in the line with 2 5" woofer a 5" fst and the same treble as the CM7 and CM9. Anybody who can confirm this and maybe supply us with a picture

            CM8 - I like it
            by Mikael
            I was out today at my local B&W store which doesn't carry Rotel only NAD, so it was on nad that I did an AB test of the CM8 & CM9. IMO the CM 8 was the most naturel and warm sounding of the two in the midrange and treble, and had a very fast and agile bass, in fact it sounded more pounding...

            CM8 and Rotel
            by Brian7500
            Hello all,

            can You please steer me in the right direction with regards to cabling?

            I need recommendations for cable brands that would work well with a pair of B&W CM8 and Rotel amplification.

            Can You help?

            Thanks in advance.
