I have a pair of B&W 683s, not even that fancy or anything but they are more than good enough for my 40+ year old ears.
- ben7799 5y agoMy father has had a pair of B&W 7xx loudspeakers for almost 30 years now. Once you get something like that there's no reason to ever look at anything else again unless you've got issues. I've spent a ton of time listening to them. They're really amazing. Funny thing is he spent so much money he never could figure out what to do about home theater when that became a fad. Now Home theater is pretty much gone but his setup is still fantastic for music.
- louwrentius 5y agoI can relate to that: my 85 year old aunt has Magnat speakers from the early eighties and they sound amazing to this day. Never have I owned a surround set, I really don’t care about that. The 683 were bought for the same price in euros I paid for my (not so great) 202i bookshelves 25 years ago in Dutch Guilders. Felt great.
