Product Description

Product Description
The DM604 S2 is a full 3-way system with an aluminum dome tweeter, one woven Kevlar cone midrange driver and two paper/Kevlar cone bass drivers. The midrange driver, operating in its own isolated chamber within the cabinet, is totally relieved of the excursion demands of bass signals, so distortion levels stay low even at high playback levels. The two bass-only drivers incorporate the 'mushroom' dust cap construction, where the whole diaphragm structure is stiffened in girder fashion by using a large diameter dust cap and extending the voice coil bobbin to join and stiffen it at the center.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Better with age -& they are Floorstanding, not bookshelf, November 1, 2003

By	"Big Band" John "bigbandjohn" (NC United States) - See all my reviews

I have my pair of 604's and the longer you have them the better they sound. You won't find series II anymore, and the series 3 are even better! Very crisp yet rich bass without stomping out the midrange or highs.

If you don't have room for a subwoofer, these speakers are perfect for Home Theater use. Otherwise, I'd recommend getting the 603's with the B&W 600 Subwoofer. Adjust the 603 speakers to music listening w/o the subwoofer, then add the subwoofer for movies. Perfect.

3.0 out of 5 stars too much midbass emphasis, bloated midrange, unrefined highs, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

These speakers sound very boxed in and 2 dimensional. They have too much emphasis on mid bass to give illusion of low end bass which these speakers do not have. The midrange sounds bloated and the highs lack refinement. Much better speakers for the money are the Pinnacle Classic Gold Aerogels or Monitor Audio Silver 5's for even cheaper.
