These styles of music are usually full of bass but still I find the mids and highs very important. In the future I may also want to play classical and experimental music (musique concrete) like John Cage, Philip Glass etc. My current room is 5x4 meters. My next room might be approx. 10x5 meters. Now I have the following questions: - Does anyone have any experience with a similar combination? - What cables can I use for the speakers, interconnect (if I need it) and sub? I'd like to bi-wire my speakers. - What other combinations do you recommend? Different speakers? Different amp? sub? Thanks in advance. Mike |

I have the 602's (and the C162/C272 combo) and while the 325BEE does have decent power for the money, these speakers really thrive on power (their impedence can drop to around 3ohms). Try the 325 if you like but see if you can upgrade if necessary. |

I just read http://www.audioxpress.com/reviews/media/AX201DA.pdf about the 602's impedance at different frequencies and agree the 325bee might not be such a good idea. |
