Housed in a plain, monochrome box with sharp, clean lines, you can take your pick of black or white depending on which better suits your tastes. The 607’s are the very definition of understatement. If you like the 607’s hyper-detailed presentation but want a bit more of everything, then the 606 are well worth considering. The obvious upgrade, however, is to their bigger brothers, the 606 (£549). B&W 607 review: Price and competitionĪt £399, the 607 are not bargain-basement bookshelf speakers but they do present good value for money. The result is a supremely detailed, incisive sound it’s truly impressive how much music flows from such little boxes. Bowers & Wilkins’ “Continuum” cone technology has trickled down from the top-ranking 800 Series Diamond range and features alongside a new, decoupled tweeter design. But they’re razor-sharp performers in their weight class. They measure 30cm tall and a sliver over 20cm deep. The 607 are genuinely compact bookshelf speakers. There’s also a matching centre speaker, the HTM6 (£399), and a trio of active subwoofers for adding the.
Taking the place of the previous 686 S2, the 607 sits alongside the slightly larger 606 (£549) and the floorstanding 603 (£1,249). The 607 (£399) is the smallest speaker in Bowers & Wilkins’ new 600 Series family. It’s perhaps fitting to find that, two decades later, its 600 Series has now grown up, too. And, amidst the delicate wood grain and muted metallic elegance of British hi-fi storefronts, it was the striking yellow Kevlar drivers of Bowers & Wilkins’s 601 speakers which indelibly seared themselves into my teenage memories. As well as maintaining the cabinet’s weather-tight seal, the ABR gives the AM-1 truly remarkable bass response for a speaker of its kind.While some designs fade into history, others leave a permanent mark. Instead of the Flowport™ found in our traditional speakers, AM-1’s cabinet integrates a rear-mounted auxiliary bass radiator (ABR). With AM-1, Bowers & Wilkins has come up with an ingenious solution to the problem of producing powerful bass from a weatherproof speaker. Combine this with minimal wall projection and a design that allows the speaker to be angled through 220 degrees, and you have a discreet, versatile monitor that can provide you with pristine sound almost anywhere. The speaker combines tried and trusted technologies with new innovations – like an inverted driver array for optimum sound dispersion when the speaker is mounted high on a wall, and an advanced bass radiator design that maximizes low-frequency performance while keeping the speaker sealed from the elements.ĪM-1 has been carefully designed to be easy to install, and its elegant cast aluminum wall bracket incorporates an ingenious one-plug mounting system. AM-1 takes everything we know about high-performance audio and adapts it to meet the demands of a versatile, all-weather monitor.
