The Most Sophisticated and Affordable B&W Tower Speaker Ever
Why settle for anything less when you want top performance without breaking the bank. The Bowers & Wilkins 603 S3 floorstander is the largest loudspeaker in the 600 Series and is ideal for larger rooms and home theaters. The sleek but formidable 603 S3 combines B&W's new Titanium Dome™ tweeter with the accuracy and transparency of the company's acclaimed Continuum™ cone FST™ midrange driver.
The 603 S3 is exceptional for hi-fi, movies, and multi-channel music. Room-filling scale and authority come courtesy of two 6.5" bass drivers, one 6" midrange driver, and a 1" titanium dome tweeter. Additionally, improved terminals and enhanced drive unit positioning make the 603 S3 the most sophisticated and affordable tower speaker Bowers & Wilkins has ever made.
"Worth Every Penny of Their Asking Price"
The 603 S3 won a Best Buy Award from the-ear.net, which reports, "They serve up a super-exciting sound (which will be perfect for larger rooms) that will keep your heart hooked, and are confident with all types of music."
They are without doubt worth every penny of their asking price and should definitely be put on your shortlist if you’re in the market for a pair of floorstanders that will expand your musical horizons."
"Might Be Exactly What You’re Looking For"
"If you find neutrality boring, if you want more texture from your speakers, and if you expect a $2500 pair of tower speakers to be an eye-catching addition to a room instead of an eyesore, you should definitely find your local Bowers & Wilkins dealer and give a pair a spin," notes Dennis Burger, soundstageaccess.com, January 1, 2024. "
"If you’re on a quest for something very specific in terms of sound, and you haven’t been able to find it in the world of by-the-book loudspeakers, the 603 S3 might be exactly what you’re looking for."
"Proclaimed to Be Their Best Yet"
"The 603 S3 will appeal to anyone looking for a pair of floorstanders with a full, clear sound that can fill most rooms with ease," notes whathifi.com, March 4 2024.
"Bowers & Wilkins NEW 600 Series S3 loudspeakers is proclaimed to be their best yet," observes Jacob Green, Audioholics.com, September 16, 2023. "The new range includes the 603 S3 floorstander, 606 S3 and 607 S3 bookshelf, and the HTM6 S3 center channel."
"The Bowers & Wilkins 603 S3 is for those who want a versatile speaker that suits a wide range of music genres. It delivers a detailed and engaging audio experience with rich bass and clear tones.

All-New Titanium Dome Tweeter
The 603 S3 takes maximum advantage of Bowers & Wilkins all-new Titanium Dome tweeter, which combines exceptional resolution and insight with smooth, refined high-frequency reproduction. The result? An accurate and immersive insight into your favorite music.
The 603 S3 also introduces Bowers & Wilkins new and even more acoustically transparent tweeter grille mesh, first developed for the revered Signature models. Alongside the new Titanium Dome tweeter, the resolution and realism are exceptional.
Continuum Bass/Midrange Cone
Thrill to the performance of B&W's sophisticated proprietary bass/midrange driver. Thanks to its composite construction, the Continuum cone avoids the abrupt transitions in behavior that can impair the performance of a conventional drive unit. With the 603 S3, you will experience a more open, neutral performance that delivers voices and instruments with precision and transparency.
The Continuum cone creates layered midrange sound with a pristine soundscape. The human ear is naturally tuned into sound in this frequency, and Bowers & Wilkins has understood the power of the perfect midrange presentation for over a generation.
Developed over an eight-year period, the Continuum cone was first featured on the company's flagship 800 Series Diamond models, including the 800 D3, used in Abbey Road Studios. It truly makes your music come alive, delivering the crucial sounds fundamental to any great music experience.
Upgraded Speaker Terminals
Derived from the speaker terminals recently introduced in B&W's 700 Series range, the speaker terminals on the new 606 S3 feature an improved layout and a cleaner signal path between your amplifier and your loudspeakers.
You will love the clean, modernized look of your B&W 600-series speaker. Choose an attractive black, white, or oak finish.
A plinth speaker base is included.
"Dynamic and Precise"
"The 603 displays a wide dynamic range, excelling with orchestras, choirs, and opera, whether played softly or at amplifier-challenging volumes," notes 7review.com, October 3, 2024. "Often the highlight of many recordings – were delivered with power, precision, and realism, without turning quieter passages into boredom or unnecessary spectacle."
"The Bowers & Wilkins 603 S3 comes with a refined and robust build that delivers acoustically and aesthetically," observes Marco Sebastiano Alessi, higherhz.com, December 29, 2023.
"This revisited version of the iconic speaker from the 600 Series offers an upgraded sound while still preserving its unique sound signature – a dynamic and precise texture that works magnificently when playing articulate and engaging music."
