What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Five Stars
July 2008/ Whathifi.com
    "B&W's 685 Theatre system still sounds - and looks - undoubtedly first class", "A smooth, effortless sound that still packs in the detail and excitement, while remaining nonchalantly in control at all times", "That small sub is quite capable of delivering punchy, low, insightful bass rumblings that never threaten to hold back the pace of the action", "To cap it all, this system is adept with music. Timing, control and dynamics are all strengths", "This system looks every bit as good as it sounds. It's a stylish winner".
 
What HiFi Group Test Winner
July 2008
    "It's B&W's 685 Theatre system that wins hands-down, thanks to those Kevlar drivers and aluminium tweeters - but it has just as much flair and finesse when it comes to sound", "Whether delivering music or movies, action or atmosphere, the 685 Theatre package is a worthy winner".
 
What Hifi Awards 2009
Best Speaker Package £1000 to £1500
