Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair), Oak Overview

Bowers & Wilkins (B&W)

View this description in German

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.
