Enhance your Hue lighting system with this Philips Hue dimmer switch. Removing the control unit from the magnetic base plate lets you use it as a handheld remote, and the on button also adjusts Philips colors and set ambiance levels. Adjust light settings precisely with this wireless Philips Hue dimmer switch.

Makes the Hue System Practically Useful

This dimmer switch makes the Hue system practically useful. Hue is awesome. I have eight bulbs and two lightstrips in my 1 bed/1 bath apartment. Before I bought two of these dimmer switches (one for the main room and one for the bedroom), controlling the lights wasn't so easy. I either used my voice (Siri or Alexa) or opened my Hue app on my iPhone. It was nice at first, but tiresome after a while. These dimmers changed that. Now I can turn the lights on and off naturally without opening an app. The switch being portable too is awesome (I take it with me to sleep and have it on my nightstand). Further, you can map the switch on button to five different scenes by subsequently pressing the button to get to each scene. For $25/switch, it is kind of expensive...but I think it's 100% worth it for a more practical Hue experience.

Amazing for the money

I absolutely fell in love with the B&W sound when I first heard them at a friend's place (he had a complete 683, 685, HTM61 S1 setup powered by an Emotiva XPA-7 and a Marantz SR-7010). I knew I had to get them. I waited patiently until I had completely my move to California while on the meantime I did plenty of research on pre-pros, amps, speakers, and other HT topics. I budgeted around $5k total with the TV.
A few months later, I was in California and decided to listen to them one more time. I pulled the trigger on 683 S2 for FLR, HTM62 S2 for C, and 686 S2 for SLR. I got the Marantz SR-5010 for the receiver. I carried over a SVS SB12-NSD sub. I was looking to save a few bucks on center and surrounds. I wasn't happy. I ended up returning them for HTM61 S2 and 685 S2. They just sounded much fuller (without getting into too much audiophile lingo) and matched better with the 683 S2.
As this is a review for the 685 S2, I will say as much as these are very darn good bookshelves for the price. And at MSRP, they're hard to beat (note: if you can find sales on speakers like JBL Studio 530, I'd say it be a better speaker - the new ELAC UniFi UB5 also seem promising). They produce plenty of bass for their size and have sparkling highs (the tweeter with the Nautilus tube design is much better than the original S1 tweeter). Midrange is honesty where this speaker lacks a little if I had to be picky. The 683 S2 with its dedicated Kevlar midwoofer performs better, but that's not to say the 685 S2's is rubbish. It's not. I also highly recommend you put these on stands and give them a few weeks to break in. As for amp choice, anything with 50W or more per channel will suffice.
I highly recommend anyone looking to build a HT with a budget of $4000 for speakers to look at the 600 series from B&W. They should be on the everyone's shortlist. If you're looking for bookshelves around this price range too, I'd recommend having to these on your shortlist. Your ears will thank you.
