I was just wonderring what you guys think about b&w 601 speakers. I am trying to decide on some 2 channel speakers, that will be in my 13x14 foot H/T room.

Any feed back would be appriciated as I have never heard a set of these before.


Thanks

    The B&W 601 would be a good choice.B&W speakers are musical at all
    price points.

    Some like them and some don't. I never heard a set so I cannot give an opion other than to listen to them yourself and make up your own mind on how they sound.

    Good luck and have fun!

    The 601's are on the bottom end of the scale for them.Move up a notch to the 7's or 8's for better musicality for a 2 channel system.The 805 series bookies aren't bad at all.
