The 606 S3 stand-mount speaker provides an ideal combination of size and performance.
It combines our all-new Titanium Dome tweeter with the powerful accuracy and transparency of our acclaimed Continuum bass/midrange cone. Taking the award-winning 606 formula and evolving it with a subtly modernised design, the 606 S3 is now even more appealing to even more music lovers.
The new Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series is designed for every music lover; it’s the attainable and affordable way to experience the joys of True Sound.
600 Series is enjoyed by music lovers, film fans, dedicated audiophiles, youthful vinyl devotees and even classic hi-fi buyers on a budget. In short, anyone and everyone who loves music.
These new loudspeaker models feature technologies used in our revered, reference-standard 800 Series Diamond range found in Abbey Road Studios and provide anyone and everyone who loves music more from their listening.
Continuum cone
Thanks to its composite construction, the Continuum cone avoids the abrupt transitions in behaviour that can impair the performance of a conventional drive unit. The result is a more open, neutral performance that delivers voices and instruments with precision and transparency.
Titanium Dome tweeter
The 606 S3 introduces our all-new Titanium Dome tweeter, which combines exceptional resolution and insight with smooth, refined high-frequency reproduction. The result? An accurate and immersive insight into your favourite music.
New tweeter grille mesh
The 600 Series introduces our new and even more acoustically transparent tweeter grille mesh, first developed for our revered Signature models. Alongside the new Titanium Dome tweeter, the result is exceptional resolution and realism.
Upgraded speaker terminals
Derived from those recently introduced in our 700 Series range, the speaker terminals on the new 600 Series feature an improved layout and a cleaner signal path between your amplifier and your loudspeakers.
