B&W Speaker Reviews

"Not a weakness, but you need good source and power electroincs to get the best from the 803Ds...They may not look as 'high tech' but their sound is as good as I've heard...As with the 802Ds, the 803Ds like a good deal of clean low distorion power..." read more »

"An industry leader! None! Andy Kotsatos of Boston Acoustics fame once stated years ago that any reputable speaker designer could make great sounding expensive speakers...Front grilles are cheap and mountings break...Guitars and every instrument seem to......" read more »

"We are smitten, head-over-heels in love – this 5.1 package really is that good...It uses two pairs of the 805S speakers to provide front and rear effects, teamed with the HTM4S centre speaker, which B&W modestly claims is ‘near identical acoustically’ to the 805S, All five speakers use the same drive units, and share identical sensitivity, impedance and frequency response specifications...This level of attention to detail is immediately apparent in richly layered surround mixes: the B&Ws collectively generate a soundfield of extraordinary cohesion and three-dimensionality, reaching out through the boundaries of your room with effortless ease..." read more »

"Great for background music Not good enough for home theatre quality The ACM 60, priced per pair, is the baby of the Casa line...It's the only coaxial speaker from its family, meaning that the tweeter is mounted in the center of the woofer...It's most appropriate for in-ceiling installations in spaces like hallways where......" read more »

"Tilt stand Dialogue Why A Center Channel More than 50% of the sound from movies emanate from the center speaker...Very smooth, clear highs, tight mids, small, good value Lacks a bit on the bottom end The CC3 and its replacement the LCR3 represent the "low" end of B&W center channel offerings...That's what I expect from the Infinity CC3 all the time..." read more »

"A good match are Cyrus 8, 8vs, 8vs2 or Naim 5 amps...Every instrument is placed at a specific depth of field, making it really 3d! Bass is tight and for speaker of this size very good! Lots of CD's sound great, but lesser recordings are immediatly recognized...Bass is tight and for a speaker of this size it's really very good..." read more »

"B&W has a problem with their DM602 S3 speakers...They look so good you might overlook the incredible sound they produce...The speaker uses a 7-inch Kevlar cone bass/midrange driver and a 1-inch alloy dome tweeter in a vented box system...With a frequency range of 40Hz to 42kHz (-6dB) with a response of 49Hz to 22kHz (+/-3db), the DM602 S3 are ideal for DVD-Audio or SACD..." read more »

"excellent sound-lows, mids and highs pricey Let's start out by saying that by profession, I'm an audio technician, so I listen to movie dialog, music, effects & foley all day long...Not bad for a mid to large size stereo setup Too similar to the less expensive 603-S2 The DM604-S2 is the mid-sized floorstanding model of the 600 Series 2 speaker line...The 604 is part of the 6-series lineup which include the center channel CC6, diffuse surrounds DS6..." read more »

"Infinite stiffness is clearly impossible, but there is one material that, because it is so much stiffer than the materials traditionally used for tweeter domes, potentially offers a genuinely significant advance in performance - pure diamond...A degree of difficulty however has never stopped us trying to do the right thing, and the engineering case for a diamond tweeter dome is overwhelming...The basic measurement of how well a material works as a tweeter dome, assuming it is light enough to do the job in the first place, is the dome’s break-up frequency...Diamond in limited size and shape has been made artificially since the 1950s and we realised some time ago that if a diamond dome could be made it would potentially raise the break-up frequency to around 70kHz..." read more »
