HALL OF FAME / OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION

HALL OF FAME

▪ B&W 606

If we were to have a Hall of Fame for brands, Bowers & Wilkins would certainly be somewhere near the very top of the list. The British hi-fi specialist has been making superlative speakers since 1966, while spreading its wings into new areas. Despite this innovation, the company’s delivery of class-leading stereo speakers remains its raison d’être.

The company’s 600 Series speakers, and specifically, the B&W 606s typify this. B&W’s entry-level speaker range Awards over two decades. The 600 Series, introduced in 1995 and now in its sixth iteration, continues its long tradition of technology trickled down from its top ranges at sensible prices.
