Bowers & Wilkins announces new 600 Series – the music lover’s first step into True Sound

How do you improve on a multi-award-winning loudspeaker range still considered as the best-in- category? World-renowned premium audio brand Bowers & Wilkins has built upon three decades of creating the reference standard in attainable yet high-performance loudspeakers with the launch of its new 600 Series S3. The eighth generation of one of hi-fi’s most acclaimed ranges features some of the most comprehensive upgrades the 600 Series has ever received.

The new range includes four distinct models: the floorstanding 603 S3, the 606 S3 standmount, the 607 S3 bookshelf speaker plus the HTM6 S3, a dedicated centre channel for home theatre.

All-new Titanium Dome Tweeter adds refinement and resolution.

This is the most significant introduction to the new 600 Series S3; an all-new titanium dome tweeter technology derived from the 700 series s3 and the recently introduced 800 Series Signature. The new tweeter delivers a smoother, more refined sound without sacrificing resolution or detail.

Upgrades cascaded from the award-winning 700 Series range

Bowers & Wilkins’ proprietary Continuum Cones continue to feature throughout the new 600 Series S3 range with the addition of more powerful, lower distortion 700 Series S3 motor assemblies for midrange and bass/midrange drive units. The paper cone bass drivers in the 603 S3 also now feature 703 S3 motor systems. Crossovers are also updated with the inclusion of high quality, upgraded bypass capacitors from the 700 Series S3, delivering higher resolution and transparency.

The 600 Series S3 cabinets have also received extensive improvements. On the rear of the speaker, a new terminal tray, taken from the 700 Series S3, is joined by a 700 Series specification bass port, improving performance and creating a stiffer cabinet. The enclosure’s rigidity is further improved by upgrading the internal bracing to a higher standard of wood. Finally, the bottom of the 606 S3 and 607 S3 now include metal threaded inserts so that the speakers can be more securely fixed to the top plate of the new FS-600 S3 stands.

By developing all of these key technologies in-house, Bowers &Wilkins has been able to offer significant performance upgrades to all of its new range while maintaining outstanding value for money. Put simply, the 600 Series S3 continues to offer better quality components and technologies than any comparable competitor and is set to continue the legacy of the 600 Series as the reference standard in attainable yet high performance loudspeakers. It’s the perfect first step into Bowers & Wilkins sound for music lovers everywhere.
