Bowers & Wilkins, a name synonymous with audio innovation, has unveiled its latest gem in the form of the 606 S3 Stand-Mount Loudspeaker. Catering to audiophiles and tech enthusiasts, this newest addition to the 600 Series S3 lineup promises a heightened listening experience with a blend of advanced design and cutting-edge audio enhancements.
At the core of the 606 S3’s brilliance lies the meticulously crafted titanium dome tweeter. A result of thorough engineering, this tweeter boasts a dual-part construction – a feather-light 25-micron main dome reinforced by a 30-micron titanium ring. This innovation is borrowed from the acclaimed 700 and 800 Series, ensuring minimal resonance and a more expansive, open sound that defies the confines of its housing.
The speaker’s excellence doesn’t stop there. The integration of a 165mm Continuum Cone mid/bass driver ensures a balanced audio profile. Leveraging the power of the 700 Series S3 motor assemblies, the 606 S3 minimizes distortion while maximizing performance. The crossover unit, another feature adopted from the 700 Series S3, now comes with upgraded bypass capacitors, contributing to enhanced sound quality.
Bowers & Wilkins has left no stone unturned in refining the speaker’s physical attributes. The revamped cabinet design, inspired by the 700 Series S3, integrates the tweeter and main drive units seamlessly for improved stereo imaging. A novel terminal tray and bass port increase cabinet rigidity, allowing sound to flourish without interference.
Priced at $1,100 per pair, the Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 Stand-Mount Loudspeaker is a testament to the brand’s commitment to audio perfection. With its amalgamation of advanced features and meticulous design, this speaker is set to redefine the listening experience for the modern audiophile.
