HiFi Choice - Recommended
“Given the attentions of a muscular amp, there’s enough headroom to whip up a torrent of decibels and yet, in the teeth of the sonic storm seem as if it’s not trying. And all underpinned by that appealingly ‘architectural’ bass performance, which lends the speaker’s presentation so much presence and life.”
Avforums - Recommended
“The 603 S2 Anniversary is capable and satisfying, it’s well made and room friendly too. Bowers & Wilkins has leveraged their vast engineering know how to make a speaker with precious few flaws.”
Marantz PM6007 Integrated Amplifier, Black
Toroidal Transformer
The technology at the core of this amplifier is a toroidal transformer, a component which delivers power more efficiently than standard EI core transformers. The toroidal shape offers greater power in a smaller form so your PM6007 amplifier can do more without taking up extra space in your home. With low levels of electromagnetic radiation and mechanical vibration, the sound is never restricted.
Low Impedance; High Dynamic Range
Power from the PM6007’s toroidal transformer is supported by high-current storage capacitors and Schottky Barrier Diodes. These quality components, specially selected for their electrical benefits by experts at Marantz, contribute to a broad dynamic range and low-impedance drive.
Current Feedback Amplification
Wide bandwidth and high slew rate deliver sound without delay in the PM6007. This is thanks to the current feedback amplifier type adopted for this model. Moreover, advanced thermal compensation prevents memory distortion while power is stored in a substantial energy reserve. This ensures sound clarity remains high.
Brilliant D/A Conversion
The PM6007 is equipped with a reference class D/A converter that creates stunning audio quality. It will provide 192-kHz/24-bit resolution so you can get immersed in your favourite music. With a built-in MM phono pre-amp with FET input, you can seamlessly connect to your turntable and optimise your favourite vinyl records.
Thundering Bass
Offering a subwoofer output, you can take the sound of the bass to another level by connecting the PM6007 to a high-quality subwoofer. The Advanced Thermal Compensation provides minimal memory distortion so you can clean audio.
Features
- Built-in phono EQ restores frequencies to their intended positions
- High-quality digital-to-analogue converter (AK4490) processes digital signals at speed
- Two 45W channels with an efficient power transformer and power reserve
- Range of inputs including five analogue, one coaxial, and two digital optical inputs
- Digital filter modes for optical and coaxial inputs
- No memory distortion even with powerful bass thanks to advanced thermal compensation

Bowers & Wilkins 603 S2 Floorstanding Speaker (Pair), Oak
The Bowers & Wilkins Sound
Bowers & Wilkins have been a household name in HiFi for over 50 years. Over that time they have constantly tweaked and refined the capabilities of their loudspeakers, making true sound quality more accessible and, after six previous generations of the 600 Series, are celebrating 25 years of the range with the Anniversary Edition. The 603 S2, as with the rest of the series, is inspired by technologies used for their reference flagship speakers, the 800 Series Diamond range—the speakers partnered with Abbey Road Recording Studios for their high-end fidelity.
Floorstanding Performance
It's not just upgraded transducers that make a quality speaker. The capability of its internal circuitry is a key hurdle in producing lively musicality. As such, the engineers at Bowers & Wilkins have taken cues from the design of their 700 Signature range and implemented upgraded bypass capacitors and carefully selected components into the 603 S2 to ensure an improved level of detail. B&W’s goal is to maintain the truest level of transparency possible, ensuring that their speakers can be relied upon time after time.
Celebrating 25 Years
The 603 S2 Anniversary Edition, as the only floorstanding speaker in the 600 range, has been designed to make an impact. As the leader of your surround sound speaker setup or the showpiece of your large stereo HiFi system, these speakers stand around a metre tall. The three-way design consists of a 25mm aluminium tweeter, a 150mm Continuum cone FST midrange and two dedicated 165mm paper bass drivers. These are supported by a rear-facing bass reflex, the Flowport™, which uses a dimpled design to reduce drag on air leaving the cabinet.
Accurate and Engaging
The Decoupled Double Dome is an innovation that raises the effective breakup point of the tweeter to 38kHz. The performance of the 600 Series tweeter has been analysed by Bower & Wilkins to identify key points of stress during use. Fine layers of lightweight materials such as aluminium have then been implemented to improve strength whilst also keeping mass to a minimum. The tweeter itself is also decoupled from the cabinet to diminish the effects of reverberation from the larger drivers.
Precise Performance
The six-inch midrange is differentiated from the two bass drivers by its eye-catching colour. This is no mere aesthetic choice, but the difference in its pioneering material. Replacing the classic yellow Kevlar, Continuum—which originally made its debut in the 800 Series—has been used for its precision musicality, an essential for floorstanding speakers. FST™ (Fixed Suspension Transducers) benefit from superior separation from cabinet vibrations, meaning you can push further with the same musical purity.
Bass You Can Feel
Making full use of the upgraded crossover section, the three-way design is augmentation by two 6.5” bass drivers. The paper cones are integral to the rigidity needed to withstand the immense kinetic energy exerted during play, whilst still maintaining responsiveness. As a result, the Bowers & Wilkins 603 S2 instils a superb sense of weight no matter what you’re listening to, with a frequency range reaching as low as 28Hz. Deliver highly controlled bass with the combination of excellent extension and extreme accuracy
