Strength:
The great ability to reproduce classical- and Jazz music.
Weakness:
None for the price. Firstly I would like to say that I think it is to easy for everyone to write a review in here, and just give a product 1 or 5 stars! Everyone who wants to write a review should have a username and password, and if they couldn’t find out how to write a review they should be thrown out of the system.

Strength:
Very good detail, low distortion level at high volume
Weakness:
none so far When I went to my local dealer to have a listen at these speakers I could not understand why most people liked these speakers. There was no focus, no dynamics, they sounded muffled. Inquiry with the salesperson revealed that he just put them in the listeningroom. After correcting the phase(!!)of one of them, things got in the right direction. After some 45 minutes of listening they really opened up. Similar Products Used: DM602S2, LCR6S2 |

Strength:
Breathtaking midrange, ultra clear treble
Weakness:
None as yet I'm the happy owner of a pair of 604 for more than four moths. I bought them for $3000, and all I can say is that it is the ultimate all-round speaker for non Hi-End systems. I use bi-wire with cheap Cable Talk Talk 3 cables, and the sound is absolutely superb. But then, there is nothing wrong in not pretending to be a Hi-end speaker, nobody expects to buy a hi-end speaker for less than 10000 $. And, by the way, this must be one of the most elegant floorstanders around. Similar Products Used: nothing |

I think the B&W DM604 are sounding great. Some people here don't think they are that good but that is because they comapre it with speaker 3 times more expensive. So please get real! |

Strength:
If you are looking for a speaker, which can handle demanding jobs, this is a true winner. The B&W DM604S2 handles everything, without losing control.
Weakness:
This product brings shame on all other speaker manufacturers. These are supremely naturalistic sounding speakers. They can play loud, without your even noticing it. The ability to make you think that they are not as loud as they are is due to their realistic reproduction without distortion and comprehension. Already when you lift these speakers, you know they mean business nothing has been spared 28,2 kilos of true quality. How do they actually sound, read on: Similar Products Used: Dali 6006, Dali 8008, Dali Suite 2.5, Dali Evidence 870, Cerwin-Vega AL-1000 MKII, JBL LX10, Jamo Classic 10, Jamo X3M 10, QlN 606, System Audio 1270....... |

Strength:
Wide sound production, Sound detail, Natural sound, Bass production, excellent prize/quality ratio.
Weakness:
None so far It's always a difficult task to find all the aspects you search for in a pair of main speakers. I'm sure all you guys out there agree with me on that part. As usual, I visited every dealer in the area. Particular every dealer had it's own vision and feelings towards there set of speakers they stood for. I've seen and offcoarse heared many brands; Mission 774 , Quadral Ascent 850, JBL XTi 80,etc Similar Products Used: Mission 774 , Quadral Ascent 850 |
