”Same old look but with a spacious new sound.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2022 Product of the Year.
The Denon difference Founded in 1910, Denon has over a century of audio experience. This experience becomes clear, as soon as you listen to the Denon AVR-X2800H. With a high performance, discrete 7-channel amplifier at its heart, this Denon AVR has a perfect balance of power and control. With 95 watts per channel, the full force of home cinema movies and gaming is easily realised.
Experience the immersion of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X Dolby Atmos and DTS:X use ceiling or up-firing speakers for three-dimensional and fully immersive sound. Whether it’s rain falling in a tropical jungle or the intense sound of overhead gunfire, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X put you in the centre of the action.
Extra height, without the speakers As impressive as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X sound, it’s not always possible to accommodate the extra speakers. Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization and DTS Virtual:X Height Virtualisation technology go some way to help. Play any Dolby format and enjoy a more immersive sound with virtual height enhancement – using your existing speakers. DTS Virtual:X also creates a more enveloping sound from any DTS codec. Compatible with 2.1, 5.1 or 7.1 speaker configurations, DTS Virtual:X gives the impression of height and immersive sound.
Enhanced 8K, HDCP 2.3 HDMI compatibility Upgrading on previous AVRX2000-series receivers, the X2800 now features three, 8K compatible HDMI sockets, compared to one. Both outputs are 8K compatible, too. They support 8K pass-through, 4K/120Hz and 8K upscaling of 4K content, too. The X2800 also supports the latest copy protection standard, HDCP 2.3.
Wide-ranging HDR support The AVR-X2800H also supports a wide range of High Dynamic Range video formats. These include Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. It also supports HDR10+, which enhances picture realism by sending dynamic Meta data to your TV, as well as Dynamic HDR. In short, whatever the format used by the film, game or stream, the Denon supports it.
Made for gamers in mind The enhanced HDMI interface makes this Denon AV receiver the perfect choice for gaming. There’s support for 4K/120Hz and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), giving you the best resolution and clarity. Quick Frame Transport (QFT) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) help eliminate lag and frame tearing, giving you a smoother, more responsive gaming experience.

”One year on the B&W 606 S3 remain the best standmounts available at this price.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2024 award-winner.
Bookshelf with bolder sound As a larger bookshelf speaker, the Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 is the perfect size for most UK living rooms. With its larger size, the 606 S3 not only goes louder but benefits from a deeper, richer sound, too. The speakers are easy to position and work well with a wide range of components. The latest models now come with threaded bases, giving a secure connection to the matching (optional) FS-600 S3 stands.
The best just keeps getting better For around 30 years, Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series speakers have been at the top of their class. Even before the latest S3 speakers were announced, the previous version were still considered amongst the best in their category. With technology derived from the 700 Series, however, the latest 600 Series S3 speakers move the game on to an entirely new level.
Titanium tweeter for scintillating treble detail Featuring an all-new titanium domed tweeter, the 606 S3 takes a big step up in top-end detail and refinement. Using materials and technologies from the 700 Series, the more advanced driver teases out detail that could easily be missed with other speakers. Using a tube-loading system, the tweeter is further isolated from cabinet resonances, reducing distortion to vanishingly low levels.
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. Improvements to the S3 include a more powerful, lower distortion motor assembly. This further enhances the already impressive vocal response and helps keep the bass timing fast-paced and rhythmic. The 606 S3 has larger drivers than the model below, giving it a deeper, more powerful bass response.
Better on the inside, still handsome on the outside The 606 S3’s sleek good looks remain largely as before, but inside the cabinet there’s been extensive improvements. Upgraded electronics promote a more transparent and open sound, while the cabinet itself has a new bass port design and is stiffer, both of which reduce resonance.
Choose your finish Always one of the more attractive speakers in its class, Bowers & Wilkins didn’t need to change the timeless style. All that’s left is for you to choose between one of three distinct finishes. Matte black is the classic choice with the all-white version providing a lighter option. For a more traditional style, go for the oak finish with light baffle.
Enjoy a fuller sound, with the Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3.
”For another year the B&W 607 S3 set the standard at their price.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2024 award-winner.
Smaller speaker that thinks big As the most compact model in the 600 Series S3 range, the Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 makes the ideal choice for use in smaller rooms or as a desktop monitor speaker. For a high quality home cinema set-up, match up with 600 Series S3 centre, front and subwoofer speakers and enjoy an outstanding speaker system. The speakers are easy to position and work well with a wide range of components. The latest models now come with threaded bases, giving a secure connection to the matching (optional) FS-600 S3 stands.

“The B&W ASW610 sounds bigger than it looks and more expensive than its price-tag.” – ‘What Hi-Fi’ – 5 Star review.
Powerful bass Featuring a larger, 10 inch bass cone, the ASW610 offers a deeper, more powerful sound than its smaller ASW608 sibling. Ideal for larger rooms, the ASW610 increases the intensity of both music and movies to deliver more of a thrill.
Controlled sound With its 200 watt amplifier, the ASW610 keeps a tight rein on the bass. The hybrid paper/Aramid cone is also ultra-stiff for exceptional accuracy. Combined with its powerful magnet, this means the bass remains tight, responsive and doesn’t wallow as inferior subs can. Give it the right material, though, and the long throw woofer demonstrates bass power to rattle the windows.
Big power from a small cabinet Delivering big power is easier with a larger cabinet to help contain the forces. Bowers & Wilkins have taken a more difficult route with the ASW610. Forceful internal pressure is counteracted by extremely thick cabinet walls and exceptional rigidity. It’s not a cheap solution but it means the ASW610 retains its high power output while remaining compact enough for most living rooms.
Fully adjustable For sound that’s perfectly tailored to your room, the ASW610 offers a wide range of adjustments. As well as the usual volume and low-pass frequency adjustments, three-stage bass extension and EQ switches give you the perfect amount of bass for your room size, subwoofer position and personal taste. If the subwoofer is positioned behind you, simply select the phase switch for smoothly integrated bass.
Feel the difference a powerful sub makes to your music and movies, with the Bowers & Wilkins ASW610.
