B&W 600 series 2 vs. series 3
Does anybody know if there is an appreciable difference for the DM602 and LCR600 between the series 2 and series 3? I've listened to the series 3 and they sound great, but the 2's are about $100-150 less.
Is it worth getting the newer ones, I'm looking for these to be the last spekers I buy for the next 10 yrs. I'm going to use them with a Yamaha 5490.

I guess the first difference is that there is no LCR600 in series 2. Is the CC6 powerful enough for me if I'm driving it from a Yamaha 5490 and my viewing space is 14'x12' (Room is 24'x20')
If not will the timbre be matched if I got series 2 602's and series 3 LCR?

Series 3 sound so much cleaner than the series 2 speakers. I work in an A/V store and everyone else who works there agrees. The tweeters are re-designed I beleive, giving them an awesome sound. I have the entire 602-601-LCR60 Series 3 setup here at home and it is great. I would definitely spend the extra money, if you want the extra sound.

Thanks!!
If my listening space is 14x12 in a room that is 24x21, and I have a Yamaha 5490 reciever, do I need the LCR600 or will the LCR60 be strong enough.
I'm upgrading from an Infinity Video One center because I can't always make out the dialog.
Thanks again (as always for teaching me how this stuff works)
