Hi All,
Hopefully my signature will have uploaded ok and you will be able to see my system.
I recently blew my B&W 601s
(Chemical Bros and Stella don't mix!)) and was going to by the 685s till I heard the 684s :-D
I am very happy with the speakers although I feel my CD/amp can be a wee bit too bright at times.
I was looking to ugrade my CD player and amp, in that order, but have seen the AVR350 for less them £600 brand new. I will be mainly using it for music however I do enjoy home cinema and will be using it to drive my HC system when I get a blu ray player(I am going to pre out everything into the Arcam as it doesn't decode HD audio).
Can I have your thoughts/xperiences on this amp for music? ie Will it be a musical upgrade to my Technics? (The old fake pre-power class AA one with the needles on the front)
As well as this I'm thinking of incorporating the B&Ws as front L&R's when I go Blu Ray I will not be allowed a big B&W centre :-(
Do you think it will sound like a dog in pain if I integrate the B&W with the Audica?
(ps I forgot to say tv was wall mounted and the rest of my kit is on a Soundstyle WG4)
