b&w dm303 vs 601 s2


Anyone been able to compare these guys? they would be running off a 30watt per channel rotel ra-930ax, source is a sony sacd player. Mainly listen to jazz classical bluegrass rock blues and acoustic stuff. im 100% sure i want the bw sound, dont know why but they have something i like! the 601 s2 are 270, the dm303 are 225 so are the 601's worth the extra 50? im pretty sure they are very similar, maybe even the exact same tweeter, which is why I need your ears!!! I like the yellow kevlar of the 601's but im really all about the sound!

Glowplug,

Get the speakers and see how it does it your system. IMHO, it's best to add one piece of equipment at a time, and to live with it, and listen to it, and get to know it's attributes, before adding another piece of equipment. You may find, that for your needs your amp might work perfectly fine with these speakers (B&W/Rotel are generally a good sounding combination) or you may find yourself wanting a better or more powerful amp at some point. Only time will tell, and only you can make that decision, but if it was me, I would reserve that decision for somewhere down the road. Remember in building an audio system it's best to take it a step at a time.
