B&W Bowers and Wilkins 606 S3 Bookshelf Speaker

The 606 S3 stand-mount speaker provides the ideal combination of size and performance. It combines our all-new Titanium Dome™ tweeter with the powerful accuracy and transparency of our acclaimed Continuum™ bass/midrange cone.

 An icon enhanced

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 even more music lovers.

Layered, beautiful details 

The new 606 S3 introduces our 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.

Truly amazing sound

606 S3 introduces our new and even more acoustically transparent tweeter grille mesh, first developed for our revered Signature models. Alongside the new Titanium Dome tweeter, the resolution and realism is exceptional.

Precision and transparency

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 606 S3, experience a more open, neutral performance that delivers voices and instruments with precision and transparency.

Upgraded speaker terminals

Derived from the speaker terminals recently introduced in our 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.
