Suffice to say I bought them in haste. One visit to one store.

The only other speakers I auditioned were a pair of used B&W DM 604 s3 (the predecessor to the 683's) The salesman steered me way from the Dalis in the shop at this price point.

I learned the lesson of taking care by the time I purchased the amp. That process took six weeks of in-home auditioning four different pieces.
