B&W 607 S2 AE Overview
There's no one way to listen to music – some like leaning back and relaxing while others want to feel every beat. Whatever your preferred listening style, there's a B&W speaker that's right for you!
The Bowers & Wilkins 607 S2 Anniversary Edition is the latest entry-level stand mount from this company's ever-popular 600 Series range, which has now been around for over 25 years. It's a great example of how iterative updates to budget designs can deliver serious improvements in sound quality, and with the new Anniversary Edition, the company has taken its current entry-level line further still by incorporating Continuum cone technology, which was first seen in its flagship 800 Series Diamond models.
B&W 607 S2 AE Features
The Continuum cone is B&W's patented design which uses a high-grade Kevlar cone and an internal bass reflex system to increase the cone's damping properties and reduce the chances of distortion when under load. It's also been treated with Mundorf's special acoustic treatment so that it can better capture and reproduce the natural sonic characteristics of real music.
The Decoupled Double Dome tweeter used in the 600 S2 AE is another of B&W's proven designs, with 38kHz breakup performance that gives it a big, punchy timbre and a very pleasing overall appearance. It's also a bit smaller than its bigger cousins in the 700 Series Signature range, which means it doesn't have quite the same heft, but it still produces a huge level of detail.
It's also capable of displaying impressive scale and depth without being overwhelming, a skill that is often lacking from speakers at this price. This is particularly true when listening to orchestral passages or string quartets, where the 607 S2 AE's acoustic integrity and power ensure that the strings, brass, and bows come through with impressive accuracy.
The 600 S2 AE features the same 5-inch Continuum cone as the other models in this range. It has a nominal impedance of 8O and a claimed sensitivity of 84dB. It's rear-ported, with a flow port reflex port, and also has a brace of dual binding post-speaker terminals for bi-amping or bi-wiring.
It's a compact (207x300x165mm) speaker with a claimed frequency response of 52Hz to 28kHz and a recommended amplifier power range of 30-100 watts. Its claimed sensitivity is less than that of some rivals such as Q Acoustics Concept 20 but this is more than acceptable for today's high-end solid-state amps. The claimed bass response is very good, too, with a minimum of 52Hz and an average of 28Hz at +-3dB.
