If flat is what you want, then British is the way to go. KEF and B&W speakers are known for their "flatness". I have a pair of KEF 104ab speakers. They are +/- 2db from 50-20K Hz and +/- 5 db from 35-35K Hz.

I have a pair of [[url=http://[/URL]="http://www.bwspeake…"]CDM 1NT[/]="http://www.bwspeake…"]CDM 1NT[/] and like the clarity.

They are fine speakers. Like any monitors, you must know how they interact with your room.

Really not all that responsive to your question, but I have a pair of 602's on the way to me right now. I'll be using them in my living room, not my studio, so it's really irrelevant. I'm just excited is all . . .

I used to have a pair of B&W 601 Series 3 until they were stolen form my house and i played some mixes back on them.

This is what i found:

- very smooth topend
- need a tonne of juice to get going. I was using a bryston 4bsst which that night of the robbery i took to a friends house to hear the current speakers i have now( Amphion argon2 which i later ended up buying off of him)

the bottom end is tight and weighty as long as the amp is good.

Use good speakerwire and the definition is amazing.

I later found a review on them used as a studio monitor. Check online

good luck
