for the DM 603 S3
I've only had these speakers for about a month so they're starting to break-in nicely. I've auditioned many speakers.....from Def Tech, Klipsch, PSB, Paradigms, and other B&W speakers. out of all of the ones I liked for the price and the performance it came down to two speakers, The Paradims Monitor 7s and the B&W 603 s2. The 7s sound very good for it's size but lacked bass, the 603s2 were clearly the ones i went with because of it's clean clear highs and dynamic mid/bass response, plus had alot of depth sound to it. (prefer depth than flat response)I ordered the series 2 but they don't make them anymore so i was fortunate to get the series 3 for the same deal. :)
They took a while to break-in (especially the aluminum driver) and let me tell you,...they sound INCREDIBLE!!! not only do they sound just as good if not better than the series 2 but they sound very clean, crisp, and robust!!! much better than the series 2.
I use these speakers for both 2 channel and HT. But I listen to 2ch music most of the time. I must say they sound great with anything you throw at them. Yes i know I don't have the best equipment BUT I have to say my old H/K intergrated amp drives them better than a Marantz or even a Denon could. Trust me I've heard them both. Although I wish I had an Aragon amp:)
Product Weakness: none so far Product Strengths: Very dynamic, clean, crisp sound, and sounds great with any type of music you listen to!
