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.

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.

Totally blown away
Having decided to invest in some new stereo speakers, I spent a few weeks researching, reading reviews, and also working out my requirements. I actually thought these B&Ws wouldn't be for me as everyone says they're not good near a wall. But listening to a bunch of the speakers I wanted to check out in an audition session at Richer Sounds allowed me to understand the sonic differences and capabilities of various speakers that all get rave reviews between £200 and about £800. And to try them at different proximities to back and sidewalls of the audition room with various different types of music – as I listen to pretty much everything. Of all the speakers I listened to, I couldn't get away from the space, depth and clarity of the sound coming from these B&W 606 S2 speakers. The instrument separation and coherence of busy passages of music was, for me, astounding. Really decent dynamic heft and punch to the sound without sacrificing clarity, warmth and charm. Had them at home for 11 days and can't stop listening to records, each a total revelation. Bowie's Ziggy Stardust album sounds like never before (Hang on to Yourself was one of my speaker audition tracks). I'd also urge anyone to dig out Nitin Sawhney's Prophesy album too and give it a spin. The production is lush and these 606 S2s make the music so rich, detailed and full (like you're listening on much bigger speakers) - even at low volumes that I just can't stop listening. These speakers have ticked all my boxes and exceeded expectations. I didn't realise music at home could sound this good. Total game changer. Thank you Richer Sounds!
