    If you're planning to utilize the full copacetic of your receiver, you'll never be disappointed with B&W speakers. I prefer quality over quantity, unfortunately that means less bang for your buck. But it's worth the extra money.

    If you’re trying to get a better sound system for your home, these are definitely a huge step towards quality over quantity. I use these for my front left and right speakers and have a 5.1 system to compliment it, but the range and clarity of these speakers definitely drive the best sounds for my system. You can do better with the higher end options, but for someone just starting to get a nicer system, these are a great option.

    These speakers are perfect for your home theater system. I was looking for speakers that I could enjoy both movies and music and I will say that the 685 S2 deliver on both. Perfect with the HTM61 and the M1

    Haven't broken them in yet. However they sound wonderful. B&W are speakers are crystal clear high quality speakers. Can't wait to crank up the volume for full effect. They sound a good or better then many floor standing speakers.

    This is my first mid range speaker in terms of price. Sound is very crisp and clear. Now I need to augment the system with a good subwoofer and receiver.

    Can't beat how much sound you get for the price, I also own 683 s2s and these for the price range come very close. I use them as studio monitors and are very impressed with the sound quality.

    We purchased several Bowers & Wilkens speakers at the same time. They have completed our entertainment system. The quality of sound is terrific. Happy our salesman made the recommendation.

    I purchased these B&W speakers from Best Buy mainly to listen to high quality FLAC encoded music and sounds awesome! Combined gem with an 10" subwoofer to bring a strong bass presence but I ALSO enjoy listening to certain music without any sub and just the two channels. I'm not a music officiant so no technical terms here but I will say that I am hearing WAY more of my music now and enjoying every minute with these!
