Bowers & Wilkins may flaunt its flagship 800 Series of speakers as its crowning glory, but we have always had a soft spot for its entry-level 600 range. There are rave reviews throughout the range’s 20-plus year history, with the most recent 606 S2 Anniversary Edition a particular favourite – it’s our current Award-winner in the best standmount speaker £500-£750 category.
Its successor, the newly released Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3, has quite a lot to live up to as a result. It’s the top standmounter in the new 600 Series 3 range, and the bigger sibling to the freshly minted five-star (and very charming) B&W 607 S3 speakers. Can this updated 606 repeat that success?
