First you have to determine what is it with the old speakers that you think you don't have or lacking that a new speaker will fix or improve upon? |

Hi berny,
im affraid im not getting you..
didnt understand what point you were trying to make.
my problem is that i dont know if to go on the HTM62 or the LCR600.
ive heared a lot of good things about the LCR but none on the the HTM but its maybe only because the HTM is too new... |

What is wrong with the 684's you have at home already? What is missing? How will upgrading your speakers help you? |

The 684's you have would match up well with either center channel you are asking about. Ideally you could go listen to both of them to see if you prefer one over the other.
Keep in mind that a "good" speaker sounds great to you. It is impossible for anyone to determine what you prefer. |

The differences will be subtle and only a very few can tell the nuances between them and there are a few who "claim" they can. And of those, fewer actually do.
What are you using to drive the speakers? |

My personal choice would be the NAD. Again this is a personal choice in accordance with my preference. You may prefer something else. Have you listened to this combination at all? |

actually i've listen to both of them (it was NAD T743 but is the same as the T744)
the truth is that the HK sounded to me more vivid and warm and dynamic while NAD sounded more natural and kind off "laid back".they both were prety good but i must say i loved the HK a bit more.even though... i've decided to go with NAD mainly because it has a better reputation,3 years warranty vs one,and better reviews in terms of sound quality.maybe i need to learn how to listen to music properly.... |

It kills me that you say that. The whole point is what YOU think sounds good, NOBODY can tell you that and you need not make allowances for other peoples opinions. |

jim bay..
what i meant was that when you listen to music,speakers etc' you sometime not paying attention to the right things for example you get excited from things like power and loudness instead of quality and say frequencys.. |

I understand what you are saying, trust me but I think you have all the knowledge you need as you say you prefer the HK sound over the NAD, then DONE DEAL!!!  |
