Picked up some B&W 685's

[Jerry_HEAVEN]

Finally got around to picking up some new speakers. B&W 685's and a B&W HTM61 Center Channel. They are going to replace my Paradigm Titans for F/L channels. The Paradigms will be moved to the rears.

I have a modest system so far for my condo. B&W 685's, B&W HTM61, Paradigm Titans, Paradigm PDR series sub, Pioneer Elite 84TXS-i, Pioneer 5070 tv, Panamax 5100EX, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, Comcast HD (ugh, no sight of line at my place for satellite). When time comes i'll get the B&W 684's for the fronts, but for now i think my condo is going to rock.

Those are some amazing sounding speakers. They are also very well designed, and some of the most convincing fake wood I have ever seen.

Any pictures of them set up?

haha, yea i beleive these were made in China/Rotel factory, but that doesnt mean they sound terrible. Great technology and cheaper cabinets/vinyl makes for a very good price, especially entry level B&W. For the price i got them at i'm not complaining at all

i'll have pics setup up in a bit

I love the new 600 series speakers!!

....because they made the 60XS3s that much cheaper

Pics of boxes? What's wrong with you?

BTW, have you had any problems with your
Panamax, like LEDs going out or a severely
bowed out bottom panel?

Cocktease, IMO.

I think the cherry finish on the B&W 685 speakers is gorgeous, much better than the black ash
