What's great about it: sound quality, power handling, and clear and solid sound
What's not so great: Big and heavy, and front grill look cheap easy to break
I just got another pair of these speaker; after hooked it up I was very happy to hear the beautiful sound-clear and deep bass- I replaced all my Klipsch system with the whole B&W. I still like my golden woofer Klipsch but B&W sounded stronger and deeper bass. After listening to the CM9 and this one I found no much different in sound quality only the price. So I picked it and when I got home, there was not disappointed at all but very happy. If you are in budget and want only sound quality not appearance, these speakers fit for you. You don't have to spend $3000 for a pair of CM9. take these speaker and save $1500.
This product has... Right size for my space, Easy to set up, Good build quality

What's great about it: sound quality
Excellent speakers. Hooked up to my Onkyo TX-NR609 (bi-amped) through 2 pairs of Audioquest Type 4's. That receiver can drive them to the high end of comfortable listening volumes although they could probably use a little more power if you really needed to fill a big room with ear-piercing volume. I've listened to more expensive B&W Diamond series speakers and these have nothing to be ashamed of.

What's great about it: Great sound at a lower price than you would expect
What's not so great: Hard to get a hold of a pair, employees not knowledgable about them
I bought these speakers to use in my audio only system. Yamaha preamp running into a 180W per channel Yamaha amp. Primary source is a Kenwood 5070 turntable. Also use a Yamaha tuner, Panasonic 8 track player, Denon 3 head cassette deck and Sony CD/DVD/SACD player.
The speakers sound great and can really identify the strengths and weaknesses of your audio system and the recordings you run through it. They handle power well. The highs are crisp without being sibilant or sharp. The mids are warm. The bass is deep and full, but does not tend to be "boomy".
I was not able to audition them before buying them, as our store is not a Magnolia store, but I am happy with them.

What's great about it: Good low end and crisp highs
What's not so great: Nothing
I purchased these speakers to upgrade from a Bose 5.1 system. The difference in sound quality is astounding. I have only had them a few weeks and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. These two speakers produce a more dynamic soundstage with better low end (bass) and crisper high end (treble) than my Bose system ever did. Movie sound efx have more impact, music has more clarity. I will soon be purchasing the matching center channel

What's great about it: Sound
I looked at a number of floor standing speakers for my new home theater system. B&W by far sounded the best. While the speakers are expensive, these sounded as good or better as other brands that were priced significantly higer.

What's great about it: clean sound........and beautiful !
What's not so great: no complaint!
I bought these pair of speakers on 02/22/12 at Wheaton Store.....I used for music only! First set up with yamaha A-S500 but did not got enough power to run these pair of monster! after research I ordered NAD C375BEE and this is the right one for the job! I even get rid of Power Sub woofer, don't need it any more! Remember....if you buy these speakers you must have a very very powerful amp! Special thanks to Ms. Tina as my sale person you're the best!

What's great about it: The sound
What's not so great: Nothing
I just purchased these speakers two weeks ago and they sound amazing. The mids, lows and highs sound incredibly clear and pronounced. The sound imaging is great. I can just imagine how better they will sound in a couple of weeks.

What's not so great: They're power hungry and your wife will hate that you stopped paying attention to her
B&W 683s are the best floorstanding speakers money can buy in the sub $3000/pair range.
My setup consists of Marantz SR7002 AVR, Emotiva ERC-1 CDP, and Emotiva XPA-5 AMP. Front two speakers are biamped via XPA-5, while a single channel is sent to the HTM61. Rears are powered by AVR.

Highs are clear, highly articulate, and accurate without fatigue (especially over hours of listening). Bass is crisp and deep. The FST sounds amazing... its a powerhouse for male voices especially. The imaging is spectacular at this price range. Ive had Def Techs, Wharfedales, MA's and have listened to Focals as well as other BWs - you wont be disappointed with these floorstanders.These speakers are power-hungry so be sure to get an AVR with plenty of power to get the true sound these B&Ws can produce (of course I highly recommend an AMP!).
These speakers are just an example of why B&W is the leading speaker brand as well as why several studios choose B&W for sound editing.
Thanks B&W!
