Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 Bookshelf Speakers
The Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 is a bookshelf/standmount loudspeaker designed for listeners who want serious performance from a compact cabinet. As part of the latest 600 Series, it builds on Bowers and Wilkins’ long-standing approach to accuracy and control, making it well suited to dedicated music systems and high-quality home audio setups.
The 606 S3 uses an improved Continuum cone mid bass driver to deliver clean, articulate vocals and well-defined bass for its size. A refined aluminium dome tweeter adds clarity and detail without sounding sharp, allowing the speaker to remain composed across a wide range of music styles. The result is a sound that feels balanced, open, and easy to listen to over long sessions.
Ideal for small to medium-sized rooms, the 606 S3 pairs well with a wide range of integrated amplifiers and benefits from careful positioning on quality stands. It is a strong choice for anyone looking to step up from entry-level speakers into a more revealing and engaging listening experience.
