Five Stars - What Hi-Fi? Magazine
"Large-Scaled, Spacious and Refined"
The Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 bookshelf speaker provides the ideal combination of size and performance. It combines the company's all-new Titanium Dome™ tweeter with the powerful accuracy and transparency of its acclaimed Continuum™ bass/midrange cone.
The new 606 S3 takes the award-winning 606 formula and evolves it. By complementing the Continuum cone and Titanium Dome tweeter with upgraded speaker terminals, and a subtly modernized design, 606 is now even more appealing to music lovers.
The 606 S3 lights up your music with a two-way vented-box system design, featuring a 1" titanium dome tweeter and one 6.5" Continuum cone bass/midrange driver.
"Bursts Forth with Unabashed Exuberance"
"With improvements throughout, these admirable 606 S3s are pleasingly large-scaled, spacious and refined performers for the money," reports What Hi-Fi? magazine, which honored the 606 S3 with its top rating of Five Stars.
"The new 606 S3, the third iteration of the company's renowned stand-mount model, provide a forward and zippy sound profile that bursts forth with unabashed exuberance," notes Ryan Waniata, Wired magazine, November 4, 2023. "With a new titanium dome tweeter and some upgrades to their cabinet design, the speakers match that play with impressively refined definition, vivisecting the subtleties of your music within a clear and spacious soundstage."
Titanium Dome Tweeter
The new 606 S3 introduces 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 606 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 606 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.
