Hi MagnoliaMo I'm undecided on the B&W HTM71 S3 or Kef R6 Meta, which do you think is better? whichever I go with will also decide on the standing LR speakers. B&W 805 D4 (will be a long wait), and if I go with Kef I'd would purchase the Kef R7 Meta. Look forward to hearing from you.

So, I use to own the B&W 805 D3. I loved the sound stage and accuracy of the 805 D3. Personally I prefer the HTM71S3 for movies and music. The decoupled midrange and the tweeter on top adds the extra clarity when it comes to dialogue. The HTM71S3 goes lower in frequency than the Kef R6 Meta, has a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, and higher efficiency. I like the balanced and neutral sound of the Kef R6 Meta. Sometimes the HTM71S3 and 805 would add extra shimmer to the high frequencies. Some people don’t like that. If you can listen to the two side by side it will be an easy decision. Thanks for the question.

@magnoliamo I ordered the HTM71s3 & got a unit which had some marks on the top surface, was a kind of wavering look, could be a defect so i returned it & ordered another one, the next one had no wavering paint defect on the top surface but had a white mark next to the left driver on the paint finish. The dealer toke it back & now we are waiting for a fresh unit. You had a similar experience with your unit? I feel B&W should pack the gloss black speakers in a soft cloth instead of the plastic they use for 700 series.

[@magnoliamo]

That’s unfortunate. I agree on the soft cloth. Curious, has your dealer run into these manufacturing defects with B&W speakers before?

[@berj79]

@@magnoliamo No idea but this is ridiculous, i guess you got lucky? 😛

[@magnoliamo]

@berj79 lol nah! I bought mine from Best Buy. The quality is pretty good. Which dealer are you buying from?

Nice

[@Gassten]

Do you think this will match a pair of 805 D3 in a surround setup?

[@magnoliamo]

Yes it matched my 805 D3 when I had them for a brief period.

[@tobsoblunt]

Can I use this speaker with an older system? I have the B&W CM series.

[@magnoliamo]

Yes. It won’t be a exact match but will be better than any other brand center and has the signature B&W sound.

[@tobsoblunt]

@@magnoliamo thank you

[@1MrPark]

I was thinking of doing the same , also have the old cm series
