The Centris 660av was my first 68k mac. Long since gone. Lamented.
I enjoyed its PlainTalk capabilities, although I remember it worked better with an American accent
I fired up AppleScript once and made some custom plaintalk scripts.
I also remember there being a sound extension, the name of which eludes me, that you had to install manually from the Mac OS 7.1 CD
Once installed it could only be accessed through the sound control panel.
It took advantage of the DSP and gave you a range of sound output options, Concert, Hall etc
I hooked up the plaintalk microphone, put it inside my acoustic guitar and pumped up the volume on the connected stereo!
That was fun.
On the video side of things I had a VHS and TycoVideo Cam connected.
There was another extension called AV Digitizer Options that gave you are range of video capture options otherwise inaccessible.
A few useful ones here:

All the best with your Quadra 660av!
