Even by today's standard, the DM604 S3 is still a very good speaker and worth decent money used, however not much with one not functioning properly. Crossovers rarely fail. What is the sound coming from the speaker? Just guessing, I'm wondering if by going to a larger room with the system, and if you occasionally play it loud, then maybe a blown tweeter. Does the speaker sound dead, like a blanket is covering it while playing? Even if you want new speakers, it should be worth repairing the DM604's.
13yr old speaker upgrade
Okay I have a pair of dm604 s3 towers. My first big boy speakers. Incredibly happy with them. But I don't know any better cause I haven't owned anything else. I have the smaller of the two center channel speakers of that B&W series. I have moved into a bigger home. And now have them in 21'x17' room that opens up into a kitchen. I have in cieling surrounds that do the job. And a JLf112 subwoofer. I'm using a onkyo 818 av reciever. Now one of my towers have failed. (Suspected crossover). I want to purchase three similar front stage speakers. Three similar towers. I kinda want to keep my budget around $3000. I am also open to maybe going cheaper on the towers and purchasing an Emotiva amplifier to really drive the speakers to pick them up in performance. Any suggestions??
