Silver star
For over 25 years, the Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series has constantly been at the top of its class for sound quality and value. Featuring improved drive units, revised crossover electronics and a smart new aesthetic, the 606 Anniversary Edition celebrates its time at the top in style.
Versatile speaker
As a larger standmount speaker, the 606 Anniversary Edition is the perfect size for most UK living rooms. Although not too big for most shelves and cabinets, the 606 is at its best on matching speaker stands. The speakers are easy to position and work well with a wide range of components – showing clear improvements as you trade up.
Crystal-clear treble – made better
Using an upgraded neodymium magnet and other components from the 700 Series, the revised tweeter unit is better than ever. The 606 Anniversary Edition continues with Bowers & Wilkins’ acclaimed Decoupled Double Dome tweeter design. The top end now reaches a higher range before breakup – giving improved harmonics, less distortion and improved detail. Whatever type of music you listen to, the 606 Anniversary Edition sounds more lifelike than ever.
Continuum mid-range cone for incredible realism
First developed for Bowers & Wilkins flagship 800-series, the Continuum woofer design shows exceptional ability for this class of speaker. The highly developed design helps deliver class-leading vocals that makes the singers sound as though they’re in the room with you. The bass is fast-paced and rhythmic, keeping you listening to album after album.
Detailed improvements inside for even better sound
It’s not just what you can see that makes these speakers so special, it’s what you can’t see, too. Using the same capacitors as deployed on Bowers and Wilkins’ prestigious 700 Series Signature model, these speakers now offer greatly improved resolution and transparency. This promotes a greater connection with your music, for an emotional connection.
Class-leading style, perfected
Already a slick-looking speaker, the new 600 Series Anniversary Edition enhances its appeal and offers a brand new finish. As well as matte black and matte white, a new oak finish with matte white baffle is also available.
Hear to the heart of your music, with the Bowers & Wilkins 606 Anniversary Edition.

Don't believe the hype
These have a nasty treble shrillness in the upper midrange/ treble where the crossover is and causes bad distortion and sibilance. They also have a noticeable dip just below which leads to it sounding like some of the music is missing, like vocals. As soon as I heard them I was gutted, I couldn't believe how bad they were. Don't believe the hype, they really aren't as good as people would have you believe and I found them painful to listen to and ruined a lot of the material I fed them. The bass performance is good and they look fantastic but when the treble distorts like that you can't really say anything good about the sound, disappointing.

Great system great sound with great looks
I couldn't have put it together without the awesome guys at Richer Sounds who recommended the best turntable, amp and speakers for my budget. There was no pressure to spend more just great advice and the system is awesome beyond my expectation with more depth, tone and clarity than my old B&O system.

Lovely sound, no regrets
I actually wanted the b&w M1 speakers but they weren't available, so it was either 606 or 607. For such little price difference go for the 606. I love mine. I'd buy them again on

Very recessed mid range.
I bought these after reading mostly positive reviews. They sounded so good at the beginning. These were my first 'expensive' speakers and I noticed a lot of extra details from my old speakers. The bass was horrible at the beginning but that improved as I broke the speakers in. I was impressed. As I got more used to the sound I noticed that the mid range was really poor. Men's vocals were quiet for the most part. It was very recessed. I'll try a more balanced and neutral sounding speaker next.

Superb sound
Purchased these to replace my fifteen year old B&W speakers.
The controlled bass and clarity of sound are overwhelming and from a much smaller enclosure.
Coupled with previously purchased Marantz Amp and CD combination the sound is amazing.

Superb sound and classy looking
I bought these speakers a couple of weeks ago. I am very happy with the sound in fact the sound is superb even my neighbours think so! They also look good on the wall and freed up useful space where my floor standing speakers stood.

top quality sound
I am very pleased with my purchase,however I was told that my new speaker cables (banana plugs @ both ends) would plug straight in @ both ends. I don't think this is possible @ the speaker end. !!

Feels like the singer is in my living room.
These monitors are exactly what I expected. With many years as an Audio Engineer I craved to have quality at home too but never want to spend £000s... So B&W 606 S2 are perfect for a normal living room in terms of quality and price.
