The New 600 Series from Bowers & Wilkins -Do You Think You Deserve It?

It seems that joining forces with one of the world's leading luxury cars, namely Jaguar, was not by far enough for one of the world's and Britain's leading loudspeaker manufacturers, Bowers & Wilkins. Finding no rest, not only have Bowers & Wilkins kept on developing their art sound but have just proudly announced the re-issue of one of their most loved and successful loudspeaker series, the 600.

For more than a decade, the speakers in the 600 series have captivated and enthralled people around the globe and have grown to be the best-selling units from the English producer.

Now, after four years of "silence", the 600 are back with a bang: sporting the same aristocratic look, loaded with more and better-sounding technology, more coveted and with even more prestige - there is nothing changed in the class and stylish presence of the 600 series loudspeakers from Bowers & Wilkins and it's most likely that these fresh speakers will even surpass the popularity and success of the initial model.

The new Bowers & Wilkins 600 series comes with no less than 10 (yes, ten) new boxes that also come in 3 pre-arranged home theater systems, one niftier than the other.

The 600 series comprises the 683 and 684 large-cabinet floorstanders, the 685 and 686 bookshelf models with optional stands, the HTM 61 and HTM62 center channel loudspeakers, the DS3 surround speaker and no less than 3 subwoofers: the ASW610XP, ASW610 and the smaller ASW608. The home theater codenames are 683 Theatre, 684 Theatre and 685 Theatre, out of obvious reasons - each of these packs is based on a different choice of speakers, the main ones giving the name.

As for the final tech details, the new Bowers & Wilkins 600 series sports the same woven material for woofer cones they've been using since '74, the Flowport bass vents looking like a golf ball, Mundorf crossovers, Kevlar composites, mushroom-design and Nautilus tapering tubes.
