Just found this quick review, hope I can copy URL’s.

603 along with 702 are really gems in the B&W lines.

Yawn. I have a pair of CM-1s that I love, so I expected to enjoy the 600 series when I tried them a year ago. I found the 700s to be a big jump up for just a bit more $.

In Canada:
603 AE $2,499
702 S2 $5,999

That's a huge jump in $$$

I think you overstate it by comparing the 603 to the 702 rather than the less expensive 703 or 704, but you're right, the dollars are more significant than I appreciated. Brain cramp. I've become desensitized to the $ as I've moved up the price scale. Nevertheless, I am listening to my $1,000 CM-1s as I type, and they still sound great! Thanks.

I'm eyeing the new Signature line 606 myself, it's only a 100 bucks for the stands. Might go for the 603. Getting boxes to beat the Ruark R7 mk3 sound/price wise ain't too difficult. Getting a good DAB/Internet radio is though. I'm on the 4th floor of four but I still can't get FM. I might start with a radio- calm down guys, I know it's a shock- say a good Rotel amp, plonk down the 603's and then add the CD later. Or if their too loud, get the 606. Nothing is too loud at the moment, I'm hoping to get my ears unblocked this week.

Anyone had a chance to listen to the new Anniversary Edition series 600?

The 606 has raving reviews. Thinking of these and a sub, or going with the 603 AE's and maybe add a sub later.

Thoughts?
