[QUOTE="leonpjhb, post: 62283, member: 1138"] From a practical perspective: I have owned all three ranges 683, 704 and 800D. Not the CM though. There is not too much between the 683 and 703. The 703 is more open and the soundstage is better but they are certainly not chalk and cheese. I listened to the CM9 at the time that I wanted to upgrade the 703's but they did not suitably impress me enough to make me go: "yes please!", so I am not sure whether they are better than the 703's. Certainly again for me not chalk and cheese, but everyone's ears are different and ofcourse it all depends on the other electronics in the system. The higher up you go in the range, the thirstier they become for power though, but all of them really live with lots of power. Before I sold my 683's I hooked them up to a Rotel RB1090 (380watts/channel) and they really sang like never before. My personal opinion if I was spending the money would be to go for the 683's and then to skip everything and only start again at the 800 series. [/QUOTE]
