Funny to see my nearly 2 years old thread suddenly come to live :rofl:
As you can see in my signature, I ended up prefering Dali speakers (I already had the Lektor 1's, but I was looking for an upgrade). I did however demo both the B&W CM1 and B&W 685. In the shop, I experienced listening fatigue with the CM1's, so I took the 685's home for a demo. They were not bad speakers at all, but I returned them and kept my Lektor 1's for a while (they sounded more "emotional") before upgrading to the Dali Ikon 5 mk2's that I have now
