Full Description

View Full Description

The Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 Bookshelf Speaker is the larger of the two bookshelf models available in the 600 Series 3. It offers an attractive balance between high-end home audio and attainability, featuring the newly-developed Decoupled Double Dome Titanium tweeter. This replaces the aluminium construction used in previous models and is capable of delivering superior transparency and accuracy without leaving the price bracket.

Accompanying the new titanium tweeter, the 606 S3 features a six-and-a-half-inch Continuum cone bass/midrange driver. This has been positioned closer to the tweeter than in previous generations, presenting more cohesion between low and high frequencies and leading to superior sound imaging. This is supported by the rear Flowport, which uses a dimpled pattern to prevent air turbulence from affecting output. The outcome is a fully absorbing listening experience with minimal distortion, wrapped up in the iconic B&W style.

Beloved by music lovers and professionals alike, most notably for their partnership with Abbey Road Recording Studios and the 800 Series Diamond range, Bowers & Wilkins have a deep understanding of British loudspeaker manufacturing. Whether for a stereo HiFi system or smaller-scale home cinema, this speaker provides an open, neutral performance, ensuring an end result which is truer to the original recording.

 

The Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 Bookshelf Speakers are a dynamic audio solution that offers a power-packed performance despite their compact size. Drawing from a wealth of British loudspeaker industry knowledge, most notably their partnership with Abbey Road Recording Studios in London and the audiophile-renowned 800 Series Diamond, the 607 S3 has been fitted with a new one-inch Decoupled Double Dome Titanium tweeter which is capable of delivering crystal-clear high-frequencies that capture much greater musical detail.

At the heart of these speakers lies the five-inch Continuum cone bass/midrange. This is a unique technology that boosts the 52Hz - 28kHz frequency response and delivers an immersive listening experience. This performance is also supported by the rear-ported cabinet design with Flowport technology that optimises the bass response, creating deep, low-end sounds that will add depth to your favourite songs. Thanks to its compact design, the B&W speakers provide superb sound dispersion in smaller rooms and great positional flexibility. You can also take your listening experience to new heights by placing these speakers on the FS-600 S3 Speaker Stands (sold separately) to reduce vibrations and improve the soundstage.  

The Bowers & Wilkins HTM6 S3 Centre Speaker is perfect for enhancing your home cinema system. With their roots in over half a century of British loudspeaker expertise, like the 800 Series Diamond used in the illustrious Abbey Road Recording Studio, B&W speakers have consistently delivered exceptional performance and sound quality. The HTM6 S3 has been fitted with the upgraded one-inch Decoupled Double Dome Titanium tweeter. This has been designed to balance crystal-clear high-frequency audio with accessibility.

Accompanying the tweeter is the dual Continuum cone bass/midrange drivers, which imbue dialogue and soundtracks with greater accuracy. The Flowport bass-reflex design contributes to low distortion thanks to a dimpled pattern that minimises turbulence when air is expelled from the cabinet, even during moments of intense, cinematic audio. Whether it's the subtle whisper of dialogue or the powerful roar of an action scene, the HTM6 S3 captures every nuance, achieving a 72Hz - 28kHz frequency response. Thanks to the new speaker terminals, inspired by the 700 Series, this centre speaker is easy to set up and securely connect to your receiver.

 

The Bowers & Wilkins ASW610 Subwoofer features a long-throw 10-inch driver that will submerge your home cinema with direct, impactful low-end bass. Fitted with a 200W Class D amplifier, you can rely on this subwoofer for consistent performance, even through high-adrenaline action or the spine-tingling droning and rumble of a well-orchestrated soundtrack. The ASW610 is also a fine addition to any HiFi audio system. The neat, unostentatious cabinet is sealed, promoting tight bass, and has minimal overall dimensions along with advanced onboard filters and EQ, making both system and room integration easy.
