Award
2022 – Best standmount speaker £300-£500
“A happy anniversary for these upgraded B&W 607 S2 speakers”
“This is a cleaner, more insightful and overall more engaging performance from a pair of speakers that were already among the best you could buy for their outlay.”
StereoNET – Applause Award
“It has a smooth tonal balance, an impressively extended bass (for a small standmount) and couth treble, plus deft rhythmic articulation and decent dynamics. Indeed, its strength is just where you’d want it to be, in the midband.”
The Bowers & Wilkins Style
Although the 607 S2 is the smallest speaker in the range, it benefits from a substantial legacy of British sound innovation. Bowers & Wilkins, now in operations for over half a century, have released the seventh generation of the classic 600 Series after tuning and adapting technologies originally derived for their flagship speakers, the 800 Series—the very same chosen for installation at Abbey Road Studios for their superior fidelity. The 600 Series uses a trickle-down version of this technology, making genuine musicality much more accessible.
Sharp Execution
The Bowers & Wilkins 607 S2 Anniversary Edition Bookshelf Speakers have been optimised with superior crossover circuitry. The upgraded bypass capacitors featured in these speakers were originally developed for use in the higher-level B&W 700 Signature range. Fitted with a version of this aspirational technology, the 607 S2 is livelier and clearer, a significant step up from any previous generation and more capable of preserving the original audio signal. All this makes it the perfect support for even the biggest speakers in the 600 range.
Smaller Cabinet, Greater Fit
The five-inch driver of the Bowers & Wilkins 607 S2 is housed in a cabinet roughly 16.5cm wide and 21cm deep. These discrete dimensions allow you to place these speakers in more locations than their larger twin, the 606 S2. Whether on stands, a credenza or—the more traditional option—a bookshelf, the minimalistic design of the cabinet not only performs well, but fits in aesthetically with assorted décors. The speaker is available in three finishes, including black, white and oak, all including detachable grilles embedded with the Bowers & Wilkins name.
Decoupled Double Dome Tweeter
The 25mm Decoupled Double Dome tweeter sits at the top of the speaker. Through thorough analysis, Bowers & Wilkins have implemented lightweight materials such as aluminium at key points of stress. This makes the dome more rigid whilst retaining its veracity and responsiveness, raising the tweeter’s overall bandwidth. The tweeter dome is also isolated from the cabinet by a gel-like ring, reducing the effect of reverberation from the driver.
Continuum Cone FST Driver
Whilst the five-inch midrange/bass driver of the 607 S2 may look modest in comparison to the larger 606, it still uses the same Continuum cone design to deliver true Bowers & Wilkins performance. This technology was originally developed for use in the 800 Series and now replaces the signature yellow Kevlar cones for their capacity for greater accuracy. FST™ also insulate the driver from travelling vibrations, whilst improving responsiveness.
Flowport Design
The final key innovation of the Bowers & Wilkins Anniversary Edition speakers is the eye-catching design of their rear-facing bass reflex, known as the Flowport™. The design uses the same principles as a common golf ball, with the dimpled pattern reducing turbulence as air is pushed from the cabinet—a simple addition to greatly improve performance. The speaker is also supplied with a double cylindrical foam bung, letting you tighten the bass response to your liking.
Key Features
- A derivative of the Continuum™ driver used in the 800 Series Diamond range improves precision in the 607 S2
- FST™ (Fixed Suspension Transducer) design isolates the cone from the cabinet, effectively reducing reverberations
- Especially dynamic, the 607 S2 Anniversary Edition is capable of a 52Hz – 28kHz frequency response
- Fitted with a Decoupled Double Dome tweeter, the breakup ceiling is significantly lifted out of the human hearing range
- The dimpled Flowport™ design reduces air resistance during use
- Upgraded crossover circuitry, originally upgraded for the 700 Series, improves speaker efficiency and sound fidelity
- Ideal size for discreet placement or as the support for a surround sound home cinema
