Sonic bliss
These speakers have to be paired with the right components, Try across Cambridge Audio, Marantz, Arcam and Rotel, you will find the right amp to pair these with. I use these for listening to music, I had a Mordaunt Short sub lying around (don't really need the sub). After about a 500 hr, break in period these speakers shine. The value for money is incredible (I got them on sale), these bookshelf speakers can put most towers in their price range to shame. You will have to exceed $2500 for towers to get better sound.

Strong Entry Level Speaker
A Bowers & Wilkins branded speaker has a tremendous reputation to overcome. The 606-S3 is the entry level bookshelf offering in the B&W value series. These are revealing speakers whether at 60 dB or 85 dB. I suggest a separate power amplifier to bring out the dynamics of this speaker. You may find the bass lacking and the treble overpowering. If so, simply cut your treble -1 dB and boost your bass +1 dB or adjust to your preference. I am using an Anthem preprocessor straight - no room correction - with an Outlaw 7000x amplifier. Placement matters, so listen to well known tracks and adjust the width between the speakers as well as the distance from the wall to dial in the stereo imaging. I am thoroughly impressed with these speakers that make up our 5.1 base layer surround system in the family room. Music is wonderfully clear, detailed, and revealing. Movies have clear dialogue with realistic surround sound making for a stunning performance.
