Review on Floor standing speaker Bowers & Wilkins 603 S2 Anniversary Edition matte white by Agata wistowska ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Normal product, but wanted more for the money.

These products sound very mediocre. Now I'm going to be attacked by "tusk" fans, but I'm writing a review for other people, unbiased. With low frequencies, these speakers cope poorly. There are two reasons for this, interrelated, but not a priori key, because. in other speaker formats and from other manufacturers, it turns out to make the bass better with the same data: the size of the speaker and the implementation of the phase inverter. Here he buzzes more than we would like for this money, he does not have the proper pressure. The middle is "average" in quality, the stage is pushed back a little. These speakers will not allow the vocalist to become fully alive. Of course, everything is relative, there is always a worse sound, but I look at the absolute scale of what you can buy plus or minus for similar money, or even cheaper. The top is normal, but no more, For some reason, biwiring was done, although there won’t be much sense from it. The whole point of floorstanding speakers, apart from the fashion for them, is to get something that is obviously inaccessible to bookshelf speakers - more full-bodied bass. But when you buy narrow woofers just for the sake of the woofers, very often you get the illusion of bass. More precisely, you will have it, but its quality will be so-so, you will hear low-frequency rumble and overtones, which many BEGINNERS (regardless of the number of years spent on self-deception) music lovers take for normal basses, because they did not seem to hear others. If for some reason you don't want or can't buy good BIG speakers (speakers with big woofers, not tall cabinets where a lot of small ones are stuck in!), then you just need to buy good medium sized bookshelf speakers (25 - 35 cm high). ) and a good subwoofer. I assure you, you will no longer be able to listen to all these NARROW columns, because. understand what real bottoms are. Yes, there is a big caveat here: bass from a sub is not the same thing as bass from a large speaker. But the quality and quantity of bass you can achieve if the sub is good and you set it up and place it correctly.

Pros
  • + beautiful
Cons
  • - not worth the money sound
