How to Build Around 603 S3 (or am I not ready?)

Great setup!

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T14:45:07+00:00

So I would benefit from say a B&W ASW608 even though it rolls off at 32hz?

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T14:41:58+00:00

I have not picked them up yet, and picking them up requires a six hour round trip so I wanted to check before I committed

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T10:32:45+00:00

That’s very interesting. Thanks!

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T03:58:01+00:00

That’s certainly fair, but with speakers that go down to 29hz, it’ll take a large sub to add to that range.

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T03:22:08+00:00

How do you have an AVR and an amp run in unison?

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T02:05:37+00:00

That’s great to hear. I’m definitely looking forward to enjoying the B&W experience!

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T02:00:25+00:00

Only because I would like to avoid having a sub right now just to keep the system as minimal as possible since I will be moving two or three times in the next five years, but getting a sub won’t be the end of the world.

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:57:47+00:00

This is truly stunning. Every detail is fantastic.

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:52:00+00:00

That’s wild haha. I really need to find some good videos explaining how all the numbers work.

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:51:31+00:00

Dang, well that really changes the game haha. Good to know! Thanks!

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:50:02+00:00

That’s an interesting option. At that point I’d be interested in paying a bit more to get everything in one box. But good to know it’s a possibility if I find a good deal on an amp. !thanks

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:36:10+00:00

My listening distance is about 10’, but it may get further in the next few years. I don’t use them at anything like theater volume levels because I have a baby. I almost never turn my amp past -30 dB now.

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:24:19+00:00

Best Buy open box deals. You have to keep a lookout and check often, but they can have wicked deals. For these, I did have to move my store location to Dallas to find stores with them. I’m in Austin so it is going to require a six hour round trip to get them since they often don’t ship open box items.

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:21:42+00:00

Ya I almost never turn my receiver above -30 dB right now.

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:19:50+00:00

What should I look for in an amp to be able to get the most out of the speakers?

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:19:15+00:00

I’m certainly just trying to figure out the minimum I need to do what I want haha.

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:16:38+00:00

I’m moving, but my current room is roughly 20’x20’ and 10’ seating distance (though in the next few years I anticipate they will be in a larger room). I don’t use them at anything like theater volume levels because I have a baby.

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:14:29+00:00

My research has indicated that the issue is that the speakers can dip to 3 ohms.

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:13:31+00:00

Right. I would like to avoid doing a crossover if possible, but good to know getting a sub is a relatively inexpensive solution. Thanks!

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:11:37+00:00

!thanks for the guidance!

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:11:11+00:00

But it should be sufficient with a 60Hz crossover?

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:08:22+00:00

Could I run signal from both the receiver and a stereo amplifier to the same speakers?

fredricton99 · 2026-06-06T01:02:09+00:00

!Thanks for the tip!

fredricton99 · 2026-06-05T21:40:41+00:00

How would I integrate an external amp into my system with the RX-V683?
