    Do you think this will be a weird B&W setup?

    Seth, Do you think the HTM4S center will work flawlessly with the 804s? Or do you think it would have to be atleast the HTM3S to make the front stage work with the 804s? I'm just thinking ahead... if I get the 805s as the front mains now, I'll get the HTM4S center... if not the HTM3S...

    Alan, How did the 602.5 sound compare to the 602 when you auditioned them? I did audition the 601, 602, and 604 and found the 604 had slightly more bass. I have to listen to them again with my own cd's next time to further tell the difference. The 602.5s have a slightly smaller mid...
