The rooms can make a big difference so auditioning in another setup/room is of limited value....sounds like he's still using them rather than having already changed out to different ones (which was the scenario I imagined).

no they are sitting in a spare bedroom on the floor. He purchased a complet new set of B&W's 8 months ago. (must be nice.) So my thought was in the worst case I can set them up in the livingroom dingroom kitchen area. It is an open room concept. I am in south florida very common here.

He just doesn't trust you to test them in your own setup?

If I read your post correctly that's $500 for 4 DM 602s, 2 DM 603s and matching center? I'd say that's pretty good for the money but if you don't like the way they sound then...

yes you are correct on the speakers. As I shared with lovinthehd the worst case cenerio i can set them up in the open area of the living, dining and kitchen area. I don't know.

I think it is because I am a stranger and he doesn't trust that I won't respectfully take care of his things. I really don't know. I guess it is a so. fla thing.

OP, keep what you've got. don't take anything back. Order a Schiit Mani phono preamp, about $140. Done deal. You're good to go. No more mind racing.

LOL if only it was that simple......

To complicate things.............my neighbor just said he would sell me his B&W's CC6 S2 center, DM 602's with stands 2 ea, DM 602 with out stands 2 ea, and DM 603's towers 2 ea for $500.00 they are older speakers so I have no idea if it is worth getting them.

I'd pass on these. Although B&W speakers have a BIG reputation, and as a big a price tag, the B&W 600 series speakers, in my opinion, are not worth the money. Focus on the multi-zone issue and forget speakers for now.

In the long run, different speakers can make the biggest difference in sound quality. It's worth it to take your time and listen to lots of speakers. Learn what you prefer before you buy.
