I have not listened to the 685 but the CDM series are excellent. I've owned the CDM 1SE's for almost 12 years, just recently sold them away earlier this year, and it's a classic really. The CDM 1NT would be close to the N805's performance so I can safely say the CDM 1NT is another classic. I have owned the N805 for a brief period by the way. I agree with the previous posters in that the CDM range is a step-up from the 600 series.
B&W Cdm 1nt vs B&W 685 ???
The reson i am asking this is because everyone is talking about the new 685 and how good it is and how is the best value that b&w ever made and it won so many awrds.
Now i had the cdm 1nt but for some reason i sold them.
Now i would like to get another pair of used cdm 1nt's wich costs as much as a pair of new 685's.
Please advise .
I know that alot of you might say that i should go and listen to both speakers and what you might like i might not.
if i get the 685 i get 5 years of warranty.
if i get cdm 1nt i get a more classy look,real wood,"made in england",etc.
Please help me :) any replay will be more then helpfull.
Thanks.
