I also narrowed my choices to Klipsch and B&W, but unlike Frank I went with the B&W's. I have CDM7se's for the mains a CC6 and DM602's for surrounds. I also listen to about 60/40 music/theater. I chose the B&W's because they sounded quite a bit better to me on music the CDM7's arent as lacking in the low end as some of the 600 series can be but I still added a Energy ES10 sub to the mix. The B&W's do take alot of power to bring out thier potential and a hell of a lot of break in! I nearly packed em up and returned them but I hung in there and could'nt be happier with the sound. I guess in the end you should buy whatever sounds best to you and fits you budget. -Dave
Klipsch VS B&W
I'm trying to decide on speaker purchase. 60/40 Music/Home Theatre I've narrowed my decision down to Klipsch Legend Series VS B&W 600 Series. Driven by a Marantz SR-8000 & later a more powerful two channel amp for the front's. KLF 20 Front's 603 S2 KLF C7 Center CC6 S2 KSP S6 Surround's 601 S2 Subwoofer to be determined at a later date. I feel the Sub is much more necessary with the B&W's than the Klipsch, so I am leaning more toward's the Klipsch. Also for music consideration's. & Dipole VS Monopole?
