Bowers & Wilkins has released its new 600 Series S3 – the eight generation high performance loudspeakers which include some of the biggest upgrades they’ve ever received.
The 600 Series is the second longest series in the Bowers & Wilkins portfolio after the popular 800 Series.
The release of the new 600 Series S3 comes at a time when more people are demanding higher quality sound while listening to vinyl or high-resolution streaming services.
The 600 Series S3 are the ideal entry point to the Bowers & Wilkins brand so customers can hear “True Sound” so you’re hearing sound as the artist intended.
There are four models in the new range – 603 S3, 606 Se Standmount, the 607 S3 bookshelf speaker and the HTM6 S3 – a dedicated centre channel for home theatre systems.
Each is available in a range of finishes including Oak, White or Black and Red Cherry.
The 600 Series S3 has a new tweeter dome technology made of titanium.
It has an elongated tube-loading system inspired by the 700 Series S3 and creates a more open sound which is less affected by the cabinet that houses it.
The 600 Series S3 also include more power, lower distortion motor assemblies for midrange and bass/midrange drive units.
The cabinets of the 600 Series S3 have also been improved with the tweeter and main drive units now mounted closer together.
“After nearly 30 years of continual evolution and improvement, we believe that the latest 600 Series S3 continues to set a benchmark in its category,” says Dave Sheen, Brand President of Bowers & Wilkins.
“Cascading key technologies down from our high-end loudspeaker ranges means everyone experiencing the new 600 Series will enjoy performance that genuinely delivers on our promise of True Sound and brings the listener closer than ever to the artist’s intent.”
