B&W 600 Series for Home Theater?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I am currently looking to upgrade my home theater setup and was looking at the 600 Series 3. I have liked the B&W speakers I heard in the past and they look great, but I was wondering how these do in what would basically be a (Blu-Ray/HD DVD) HT-only environment? The setup I was looking to put together would be:

2 DM604's for L/R
1 LCR600 for C
Either 2 DS6 or 2 DM 601/2 for rear (suggestions?)

Not sure about the sub yet, maybe the 650/675. Are there better subs in the price range for HT?

I know speaker choice is very subjective, so I am just looking for some opinions, perhaps alternatives I can research in the same price range, as I have been out of the speaker market for years.

I have very little interest in music for this system. It will be in a room 16Lx13Wx7H for now, but i'd like to buy something that would perform well in a larger room when I move next year, so overkill is not an issue.

Thanks in advance for any help!

DS6s are most suitably used as side surrounds in dipole mode. If the speakers are to be placed in the back, there's very little point in spending a premium on the dipoles. The DM601/602 both work great as surround speakers to complement DM604s.

The ASW675 is a significantly better sub than the 600 and 650. But in all honestly, B&W's current sub-$1,000 subs are easily outclassed by other manufacturers like SVS. $699 will get you an SB12-Plus with a ton of power.

If you aren't in any particular hurry, the totally redesigned 600 Series 4 ships at the end of next month and looks very promising.
