Which to choose: B&W DM685 or B&W CM1?

[Chamomile tea]

Hello folks
Soon I will buy some speakers and I like the B&W DM685's and B&W CM1's.
My room is 2,85 meter/9,35 feet x 2,50 meter/8,20 feet. I think there is 3,50 meter/11,48 feet to the ceiling. It has wooden floors.
Unfortunately the speakers will have to be positioned in the 2,5m/8,2f area.
I just want to hear your opinions about the two speakers and maybe which of the speakers that will sound best in my room
Thanks

If budget isn't a concern, I'd always opt for the better speaker, which I believe are the CM1s in this case. Have you listened to both and do you have a preference? That counts more than what the rest of us will say IMO.

Depending on if you are going to run a sub makes a difference because the 685s have wonderful bass extention. I own a pair and am blown away at how full they sound. Not bloated by any means though.
The CM1s have a clarity that is pretty amazing, so if you are gonna pair them with a sub then get the CM1s. Otherwise if no sub then definately go for the 685s. Your on a great track, either way you are getting fantastic speakers...in my opinion at least!!

Happy Hunting!
