    That is a rare combo, I mean the amp is ten times more expensive than those speakers...

    I bought an rb-1091 for my B&W N803, but it has arrived yet.
    It believe it uses the same amp module as the 92.

    Anyhow, check back in two or five weeks and i'll let you know if it's any good.

      I have a RC-1082, RB-1080 with N803 and it is nothing less than awesome. I'm sure the 685's and 686's would love the 1082/1092 combo.

        Hi jcawdell,

        My initial reaction is that an RB-1092 will be overkill for those speakers, i.e. much more power than you need. However if you plan to replace those speakers in the future with a pair of large floorstanders then you'll be ready!

        I have the RC-1082 and think highly of it. You'll find the rest of my gear in my Profile.

          Help about 685 and 686 comparison when bass is cut at 90 HZ
          by vagyver
          Hi all!!!
          This is my first post and the main reason (the only one) is because there is a B&W Fan club!

          I am a great fan of B&Ws too (my first one was a pair of 602 S2).


          Well, i am about to set up my new system in the new (smaller) house.

          SPEAKER STANDS for 685 and the 686
          by e.mann30
          I just recently purchased the 685 as my main speakers , and the 686 for the rear surround speakers. I don't want to buy the FS-700 CM because of the price. What speaker stands do ya'll recommend for each pair (685) (686) ?

          HTM61 & 683 vs. HTM62 and 685/686
          by nirvana_1911
          Just done some critical listening, auditioned B&W and A/B comparisons at the local hifi/HT store.

          Is it just me or does the HTM61 sound much, much better than the HTM62?

          Also, the 683 sounds so much better than the 685/686 for stereo listening?

          I was...

          Which goes with 685's better, 608 or 610 sub?
          by PM5K
          My room is pretty small, 12x15x8. I like that the 608 is smaller physically, and I'm sure power wise it's probably okay for the room size, but in terms of the quality and level of 685's, is the 608 still good or would it go more with 686's?

          The biggest spec that stood out to me is that...
