I own the 685 Series one. It is the worst sounding speaker I ever owned. Pathetic. I dont know what to do with it. I think it will be unethical to sell it to somebody. I may give it off free. I dont trust What HiFi reviews any more.

That bad? Then the design must have SERIOUS FLAWS. What's so bad about yours? I wonder if there is something wrong with yours. Hard to believe it could be so bad. I understand that speaker choices are very personal and there might be aspects of any speaker (and B&W speakers specifically) that some listeners would find objectionable. But regardless of whatever shortcomings they have, B&W are known to be quite well-engineered speakers with few "big" shortcomings.
Would like to see some Atkinson measurements on these things to confirm whatever serious flaw your ears have evidently uncovered.
I must take Anger management courses. Yoga is not working.
The speaker was a gift from the Bro in law so I had no chance to listen to it before it appeared here. Being a gift and the good wife listening to my comments, I had to pretend it was very good. With the Chinese dumping electronics in these parts of the world, it could have been worse.
The Bro in law bought a 684 floorstander which to my ears is as bad as the bookshelf.
Something wrong somewhere.
Cheers
