Bowers and Wilkins 606 review: Is the entry-level B&W still a good value?

 

The Bowers and Wilkins 606 bookshelves offer bucketfuls of resolution and bass power, but they're not as system-friendly as previous 600-series speakers.

The Bowers and Wilkins 606 offers better dynamics and deeper bass than most speakers its size. Its clear sound adds insight into well-recorded music and punch to movies, particularly at high volume. The new silvery Continuum driver and domed driver...

With the wrong system the speakers can sound too bright, and it's not the best speaker for so-called "badly recorded" music. A price increase over the previous model pushes it into a different class of speakers, but the finish doesn't correspond.

The Bowers and Wilkins 606 bookshelves offer bucketfuls of resolution and bass power, but they're more expensive and not as versatile as their predecessors.

Bowers & Wilkins 606 Loudspeakers

 

The Bowers & Wilkins 606 costs $100/pair more than did the 685 S2, which cost $100 more than did the 685 S1. Is that $200 net increase worth it? Well, B&W doesn't upgrade their speaker lines every year or two or even three, so inflation must be taken...

Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones Review

 

Bowers & Wilkins' first noise-cancelling headphones tick a lot of boxes on paper, but how do its PX headphones that were designed by the very same engineers that worked on the brand's 800 Series D3 flagship speakers really sound? Read on.

Bowers & Wilkins' PX headphones present a smooth, detailed and mildly dark sound signature, and excellent build quality.

Great build and great sound

 

It was good to see the great Richer Sounds price for the B&W 606 that it came into my budget. I upgraded from Dali Zensor 3 and run it on Cambridge Audio CXA60. I get fantastic clarity from these. The build quality seems to be a step up too. Thanks to...

No one gets fired for buying B&W

Good sound at a great price,

 

I ordered online and had my speakers next day delivery, fantastic service. This was after discussing what best suited my needs and budget with my nearest store by phone. They were very helpful,knowledgable and not at all pushy.

Fantastic clarity

 

I bought these to go with my Marantz PM6006UK and CD6007 and Sony PSHX 500 and they are amazing. I have them about 20 hours to run in and I am hearing detail I was never aware of with my old Mission M73i floorstanders. With a nice pair of stands they...
