SteveCan't help mate. I had a pair of 601 S3s (?) back in the day. Horrific things.

I.always wanted to try a pair. They used to go for about £150 5 years ago but not now it seems.

I saw a pair going really cheap in immaculate condition.
I'm having a problem with room acoustics and thought I'd give seald enclosures a try

I had some 601 s3's, i thought they were great with a sony tafb940r

Might have been my all Sony system to be fair. I didn't really enjoy those speakers though.

If you take the plunge and subsequently find the tweeters not working, be aware there is a protection curcuit built in to the crossover to prevent over driving.
I understand the component/s can fail and cut out the driver.

B&W recommended simply bypassing the faulty curcuit and taking care with the watts.
Info is available on the tinterweb but I cannot recall the route.

P.S...his only effects the mk2....fuse protection in mk1.

Steve...If you don't like them I'll give them a whirl if they're cheap.

Sealed boxes....once you start enjoying them and their inherent qualities, it is difficult to enjoy traditional ported designs. Placement stops being as big an issue. Consistency in the low end is another big bonus...


I am going to give up my DM7. Too many speakers to sort out. I'm pretty sure they need the ferrofluid redone, as the treble is somewhat reticent. Lovely things though, and a bit of a design classic imo.
