B&W Formation Duo Overview
The Duo speakers are a great addition to any home, and the sound quality is as good as we've heard from a pair of B&W Formations. It doesn't matter whether you're listening to the White Stripes' Ball & Biscuit or Boards of Canada's Telephasic Workshop, the Duo can provide a powerful and detailed sound that can bring any music to life. The bass performance is equally convincing, especially on the deeper tracks where it's possible to hear the difference between the sealed and ported cabinets.
B&W Formation Duo Features
Bowers & Wilkins may be one of the world's oldest hi-fi companies but its new Formation line is a bold step forward in terms of multi-room systems. Using B&W's wireless system, the Duo is able to communicate with other Formation products in the room and playback music from them in real time.
The B&W Formation Duo is a two-way active stereo speaker with an impressively potent sound, especially for the price at which it's pitched. It's built around a pair of carbon dome tweeters with Continuum cone mid-bass drivers and uses B&W's Matrix bracing to eliminate unwanted resonance.
Setup is incredibly easy with the free Bowers Home app. It automatically detects the speakers in your room, checks they're in the correct position, and enables them to connect to WiFi networks without any passwords or other setup complications. Then it's just a case of updating the speakers, which takes less than five minutes.
The speakers can stream audio from devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and even televisions. They're also compatible with the Formation Audio network streamer, which is designed to allow you to connect wired sources through the network receiver and send them through the Duo speakers for playback on your home system.
It's easy to use the B&W Formation Duo with the free Bowers Home app, which will automatically detect the speakers in your room and a WiFi connection for them. You can then simply choose the room, enter the WiFi password and select the device you want to stream from. Then you're ready to begin playing music through the speakers.

- After Sales Support - The only issue with Hi-Fi equipment is that you will not find local service centers in every city. Most of the brands have their service centers only in the metro cities and hence it becomes difficult for the customers who are living far away places to claim warranty. At AV Kart, we solve this problem by arranging pikcup and drop facility from the nearest service center with the help of our logistic partners.
