"I have owned both the HTM62 & the HTM61. Having read a few negative reviews by the "pros" i sampled the HTM61 in shop, loved it, purchased it & would recommend it to anyone interested in the 600series. I have it paired with the 683s as mains & 685s as rears. Absolutely amazing clarity, detail and i feel an overall great match with the 683s. I completely disagree with the negative reviews & all who have been over my place to enjoy a movie or listen to music are totally stunned with everything they have heard. Go listen for yourself, i highly doubt you wont love it!!"

tapped as "love it"
tapped as "have it"
new pro/con: They are a little snobby in that they only belong in a home where they are truly appreciated. Dont just plug&play. Dial them in to your system & they will take you places you've never been!
new pro/con: I have friends with home theaters from Klipsch, Mirage, PSB & Definitive. The B&W 683's blow them away....way away!
