Merlinus:
I just purchased one today and am listening right now. I can't imagine why this would receive a negative review. The HTM61 is the correct matched CC speaker for the 683's. To me, the mid-range, vocals, and upper bass are all well balanced with excellent soundstage. I auditioned it at the store before I walked out with it. If I had heard anything funky, I would have caught it. What does this negative review say about it? I'll have to search for it. My advice, go out tomorrow and buy it. The red cherry finish is real smart looking and attractive.
