upgrade existing B&W speakers.

[G12345567]

I am considering upgrading a the rear speakers on a Home Theater setup I currently have. And was wondering which model should I consider to match in with my current setup which consists of the following.

DM 602 s3 (front left & right)
LCR 60 s3 (centre)
DM 302 (rear left and right)
3rd party sub

My amplifier is a Marantz SR5200
which has the following power output rating
Power Output (8 Ohm, F, C, S) 85W/85W/85W

the DM 302 as my rear speakers are the ones I want to replace with possible something from the 600 s3 range. Which do you think I should go for to match in my existing system?

For what it's worth I too have 602 for front and lcr 60 centre. I recently added the 600's for the rear and am now in home theatre heaven!
Oh, I also have a rotel 1055 that I run them through.

Thanks for the advice. Thats what I was thinking of getting, the 600 s3 to match in my system. I'm glad I went the whole hog and got the 602 s3 when purchasing my speakers. They do sound great, even for 2 channel stereo audio production (cd and movie).

I will probably get shortly. So i can put my older B&W 302's back on an older marantz stereo. .
At the moment the other the system has a very old pair of unevenly matched 3 way speakers (ie the volume has to go a lot higher than normal to get decent sound out of the amp/speakers).


Ending up getting the 601 s3 for a very good price au$699 (or which the RRP of the 600s3 is au$699) and am very happy with them. thanks for your advice.
