👀 I'm hesitating but when I look at the price of these now and what I paid for it in 2018 I feel like I should keep it...

Interested in the centre speaker. Can I put on a provisional dibs, whilst I ask a couple of questions via pm.

Thanks

Can the 685's be used as a normal stereo pair in a music hifi setup ?

Hey, yeah of course that's what they're made for :)
I have been using them in pair with a Rotel RA-12 stereo amp before to switch to the AV amp.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
