Choice between B&W 685 and EPOS M12i

[admin_exported]

Creek 4330MKII amplifier. Currently using Mission 771i speakers.

I have narrowed down my choice for speaker ugrade to those above: B&W 685 and EPOS M12i -price difference is small and does not play a role. I have also considered Quad 11L2, but it is probably below parity to those two.

What would you advice? It is also likely to use the speakers with my Nakamichi AV2 that I mainly use as a stereo amplifier too.

Many thanks

Epos. No contest. Much much better speakers than the 685s.

I would agree that the M12i are the better speaker though I would say that the 685s match other Creek electronics well, though with your relatively low powered amp I would suggest the Epos.

Epos, although avoid the Quads. They may be just a tad too lively for the Creek.

Yes, the EPOS in this case.
