I used to have a pair of 602 s2 and they were used as mains, along with a sub. I would think the 601 would need a sub for full-range performance.

firstly i think the 601 601s2 and later series 3 were all designed as hi fidelity music speakers first..in addition to being offered in greater multiples as a surround sound package...b&w tend to have a sound first approach to their advertising and especially at the lower end of their range where competition is greatest..

have a rummage in their website as they should have most of their product manuals and brochures going back to the early 80s dm series still available in pdf format...

When I used the 602s in a smaller room, they didn't need a sub.

Nice speakers! I hope you enjoy them.

I pair them with a Marantz 2238 in my family room for casual, yet sweet and smooth listening.
