Bunyip Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I have the series 1 version. Good solid speakers. Perfect for the man cave. These look to be in great condition. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerglide Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 These are great speakers, so close sonically to the CM1's that on aditions retailers found it hard to justify the price difference to potential buyers. As a business move the following 601's were smaller and made in China! For $350 these are a good buy or you should just keep them cause you'll have to fork at least double for anything to match. I had a pair side by side with some ATC SCM20sl's for some time and in my experience at lower volumes the B&W's held their own and even bettered on certain music, turn it up and a totally different story you need to crank those twenties for their best lucky someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webs0r Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Thanks guys. Powerglide, I had that exact thought and before I listed this I was considering - do I just put these into a box in the storage cage and maybe one day I'll have another room / space for them? But I think they're wasted hiding away and someone else should get the enjoyment! I moved to the ATC SCM19s for a bit of a change of scene. Amazing speakers. But as you say, much more than double what I paid for those B&Ws many years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerglide Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 You can't keep everything I've moved the 601's and the ATC's along and have some refurbished JBL 4313b's that I'm very happy with. id purchase B&W again but probably something in the 800 series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zardoz Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I have a pair of these but the tweeter seems to have failed in one of them. I went to audition some new 685 S2s recently, expecting a step up in performance and I was disappointed - the 601 S2's still held their own against their revised model. Sure, I reckon there was more to the 685 S2 - but not at the price point - and I have since decided to keep an eye out for a S2 tweeter... but this is somewhat tempting (and I could repurpose the remaining good speaker as a tonally match centre). Are these still available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
