Hi, I am new here, but have been reading the forums regards to 685's and am thinking to buy them next friday (if I can track down an online retailer!). I thought I would pose a question before I spend my hard-earned cash though. From reading the forums it seems that 685's coupled with the Rotel RA04 amp will be a nice set-up for my budget (around £650, can go higher if needed but prefer not to). I need speakers that are going to be positioned approx 1.5 meters apart, and I will be sitting approx 2 foot from them at a 45 degree angle ( will push for 60 degree). They are going to be sitting on a glass computer desk as opposed to on stands as my head will be over a foot above them on stands. I listen to almost all music, preferring trip-hop over most but listen to anything from ethnic to rock also. I am wanting great sound definition and bass to fill a bedroom (standard bedroom environment e.g bed, wardrobe, etc) approx 5x4 meters. Am I making the right decision for my money? Who retails B&W online? Is there a better alternative? Will the B&W be ok on glass!!? Have I missed anything? Thanks for any response I get Stu
