They look pretty epic! I don't bother atm as the parents moan with the system I currently have.
When I move out, the story will change.

Looks like some sort of advertising photo, judging by the images in the photo frames.

These are great speakers, although im not too fond of them with playing rock. Everything else they play effortless and define the sounds greatly.

Does a really good job of playing tapes well mate:
Trollololol just a Denon PMA520AE & NAD BEE CD,
Its only the higher volumes pushing them where they become abit clashy on a few rock tracks with alot going on. On normal volume they're fine and to my standards which isn't audiophile spec.

Currently got a pair of Eltax Symphony 6's off an old Technics amp, speakers cones are starting to fail so I'm on the lookout for some new floorstanders soon.
My dads got a shed load of Denon gear at his house which sounds awesome.

I've got diamond 10.3. I like them but I don't have anything else to compare them to really.

im very tempted to redo the living room completely. Been looking at new TV's etc...
Currently a Linn in wall 5.1 system ran off a Philips amp. Though to improve on the Linns would cost me some serious wedge i think the Philips amp may be the first area i need to upgrade.

602s are mammoth!
Make sure you get them on good solid stands though as they are pretty heavy and don't like flat surfaces. You'll also need to keep them about a foot away from a back wall and at least a few feet from any side walls.
Definitely Biwire them and get a meaty amp to drive them, even if you're listening at low levels. Rotel amps seem to work well with B&W
