I picked up a used pair of B&W 602 S1's for my son at $250 and have 1 week to return them. They seem to have a slightly bloated bottom end and recessed treble. They sound better when I stuffed the front ports with foam.

My question is- How different are the 602 S2's? The store I bought them from have a pair of the S2's for $350. Are these even worth the price?. We looked at a pair of paradigm mini monitors and I have found a used pair on Ebay. We are also looking at Wharefdale Diamond 9.4's, Mordaunt Short MS914 floor standers.
