DESCRIPTION

For large home theatre installations, choose a pair of rear speakers that can get you closer to the true surround sound of the cinema.

The DS3 is a wall-mounted surround speaker that can operate in what’s called ‘dipole’ mode, to create an authentic all-enveloping effect of the auditorium in a large space. Or, you may prefer to switch to conventional ‘monopole’ operation, in which the sound from side or rear is more precisely located and less diffuse. The choice depends on the room conditions, the size of the audience and the kind of material on view.

Whichever mode you select, the sound quality is superlative, supplied by a 130mm Kevlar® cone bass/midrange, twin midrange/high frequency units and a Nautilus™ tube-loaded tweeter.

Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series gets 95/100

Home Theatre magazine recently reviewed the Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series and awarded it 95 out of 100.  This score was gained through a number of key areas; Build Quality - 93; Value - 97; Features - 95; Performance - 97; and Ergonomics - 85.

“The B&W 600 Series has been through several iterations.  If they were good in the 1980s, they’re great now, with a competence that spans the whole frequency range.  Every piece in this 5.1-channel set sells for $650 or less, making these speakers a top-notch value.”
