Iv'e had these in my smoke free studio for a while. Bought these from Best Buy Magnolia store a few years back on an open box deal. I'm down sizing the rest of my gear. Already sold most of my synths and stereo equipment. Just don't have a spot for these and don't want them to sit around and collect dust. These things sound ridiculous. I'm older and the clarity really comes through on my old ears. They are in very very good shape. Never left my studio since I brought them home. They have the great B&W sound. Ive taken lots of pics to show how nice they are. I'm Listing them under what Ebay is selling these for. Mine are much nicer. 
 

From World Wide Stereo,

Small is beautiful. The 686 S2 is the most compact speaker in the series, but don’t underestimate its power and precision. That's thanks to a new Decoupled Double Dome tweeter and improved design.

An ideal bookshelf or wall-mounted speaker, the 686 S2 is designed to fit into any space and still sound perfect. Its main driver is a 5-inch bass/midrange unit which benefits from a new 25mm voice coil which makes for a higher sensitivity speaker with bass more suited for placement near a wall.

Bass performance is vital but can often suffer in smaller speakers. Not in the 686 S2, however. That's because a front-firing Flowport, dimpled like a golf ball around the aperture for smoothly regulated airflow, delivers superior bass response without the risk of rattle. Its placement ensures the speaker cabinet is slimmer than predecessors and can be wall mounted without affecting performance.

Like the rest of the range, and despite its smaller size, the 686 S2 also features a Decoupled Double Dome aluminum tweeter for superior high-frequency response. The 686 S2 even features a built-in bracket for easy wall mounting, although this small, versatile and precise speaker sounds great anywhere.
