In Reply to: REVIEW: B&W DM 604 S2 Speakers posted by Bombaywalla on May 28, 2003 at 10:26:19:
Reading the review, one would think they were learning about a high end Audiophile product. I think you did a good job on the review but over did it a bit. Well quite a bit.Were talking 604's a good home theatre speaker with limited two channel capabilities.
Let me cut to the chase.
You said similar products:
CDM7SE, CDM9NT, Martin-Logan(various models), N804
Not even in the same clase as CDM9's let alone Martin-Logan, but come on - "N804's"
I have done a A&B with the 604's S3's a step up from yours comparing to the CDM9's, it was a night and day difference. The clarity, Sound Stage, Depth, Imaging.... What the heck A&B the CDM's with the Nautilus - Result, scrap both and went with the 802's.
You talk of the Nautilus tweeter. It is not the Nautilus tweeter that you have but some of the technology of Nautilus incorparated into the 604's. Big difference.
You have a good speaker, but were comparing BMW with Ford here, Mercadeas with Honda, when you talk of these other speakers.
Go listen again side by side and here the difference that Martin Logan makes, or the N804's.
If they are similar in sound, we sure are getting ripped off in the price catagory.
You like the bi-wire option. It's not an option but standard and recommended and does make a difference. Any time you separate you clear up the sound. Same theory with Amp and Pre-Amp.
Sorry for the rant.............but lets not give anyone the false impression that were talking about N804's or Logan Speakers, Might as well throw in Wilson Audio as similar..........
