B&W 685 vs. Epos Epic 2

I found the 685s to be very musical in my system (Nad pre with Aragon 2004 amp).

You should, however, take note that the Epos presents a nominal 4 ohm load, while the B&Ws present a nominal 8 ohm load. Will this create any issues for your amp?

I also agree the 685 is musical, not clinical at all. You may want to consider Paradigm also if there is a dealer in your area.

I agree on the Paradigms. I'm running a pair of the little Studio 10s right now. They never cease to surprise me. They may not be the best at anything, but they sure do everything well.

Since Paradigms were mentioned, I'll give another plug for them. Studio 10s or 20s would do nicely.
