The 680 is the more WAF-friendly floorstander in JBL's Studio 6 series, with 6.5" not 8" woofers unlike the 690/698. Perfect for small to medium sized rooms, as surrounds, or when a slimmer form factor is preferred. It will particularly excel at movies/TV due to the Compression Driver tweeter with horn waveguide.
- Dual 6.5" PolyPlas Low-Frequency Woofers = satisfying bass down to 38Hz
- 1" (25mm) High Frequency Compression Driver (not a metal dome tweeter as found in Klipsch) = this is the magic sauce!
- Sensitivity: 88dB @ 1M, 2.83V = very dynamic and easy to drive to high levels cleanly even by entry-level receivers.
For those setting up a multichannel system, if you cannot do a 3rd 680 as a vertical center speaker (ideal), the "matching" 665C center is still on sale at Crutchfield for another $399.

I've moved on though, think I'll pass on the 6's

Between 5 & 6 difference is minor.
So minor the 625/665c matches very well with the 5s.
The HDIs is really for the die hard JBL fan.
That JBL lore has always been pretty strong, they'll get buyers.
Probably better to wait for the budget price that the 5s got down to on these ime.
They are getting there, this is 20%(not 39%) less than last sale.
