I've demoed the 603 and 604 and the 705s(bookshelf) in store. And while they all sounded OK I found them to be very uninvolving as though the dynamics were compressed and over all they sounded distant (vieled) and over-refined. I much prefer my Axiom M22s and Magnepan MG12s for thier wonderful dynamics and balance over the 6 and 7 series B&Ws (have not heard the CM and 300 series).
It wasn't until I heard the 803s as mains and the SCM1 as surrounds and the HTM2 as center (combined with all McIntosh components) that I really liked the B&Ws. The latter was, of course, a HT setup with a B&W sub in the "special" room at the Home Theater Store and I didn't get a chance to listen to any 2ch music on this system but man the DVD demo had me drooling. But alas, the upper end B&Ws were way out of my price range.
