Description
Simple but beautiful, and the first thing that comes to mind is the construction and above all the aesthetics are truly sober.
The weight of the speakers is not excessive, but the solidity is extreme, I tried hitting them on the side and the result was a truly very very dull sound.
The rear connection is biwiring and the reflex duct is both front and rear.
Excellent construction, especially when compared to the cost of these speakers.
From the Audiogamma website:
The 680 series is the most affordable in the B&W catalog and incorporates many advanced technological solutions found in the more expensive series. In this line, cost containment is achieved through mass production and by saving on non-critical materials (vinyl cabinet covering) for sonic performance. The 684 model is a floorstanding model (HxWxD: 91x19.8x30 cm), with a 2.5-way reflex/3-speaker design (1 Nautilus aluminum tweeter; 1 16.5 cm Kevlar mid/bass driver; 1 16.5 cm Kevlar woofer). Frequency response: 44 Hz - 22 kHz. Sensitivity: 90 dB. Finishes: black, oak, cherry, wenge.
