I listen to mainly HT. My choices for mains are used B&W 602s3 (about $400 or so + shipping), new B&W 601s3 ($400 + tax), Totem Acoustic Dreamcatcher ($452 + tax for the finish I want, $405 for a finish I can deal with). The positives of going with the 601s or Totems is cool local dealers, new speakers (as opposed to used), get the finish I want (sorrento as opposed to black B&Ws).
I wasn't able to do a fair comparison between the three because they were at different dealers, and the 602s didn't have a sub and the 601s did. Is there enough of a difference between the 601s and 602s to settle for used? What are the pros/cons of the 602s and 601s? I'm looking at mains right now, with upgrades down the road. I use a Denon 1803 receiver and an SVS 20-39. Thanks.
