In 1966, John Bowers and his lifelong friend Peter Hayward founded a manufacturing company, then called B&W Electronics, in Worthing, on the south coast of England. They agreed from the outset to live modestly and plough any profits back into the business to further research into the quest for the perfect loudspeaker…

The 686 is the baby of the 600 Series bunch, but doesn’t lack for the technologies and features to deliver outrageously good sound in smaller room settings. Mount a pair on a wall or stand, or simply sit them on a shelf or table for a compact stereo system or as surround speakers in a home theatre set-up. Spec

For hi-fi or home cinema in small to medium-sized rooms, you need a loudspeaker that doesn’t take up floor area, but whose sound can still command the space. You’ll find the 685, which can sit on a shelf, table, stand or wall-mount, an inspired choice. Spec

Visually, a refreshed, contemporary design language and a widened choice of wood finishes allows the 684 to fit in effortlessly with any interior. Spec

The imposing 683 is the genuine three-way speaker of the 600 Series, with a line-up of technologies and a level of performance that defies its entry-level place in the market. For large rooms, two 683s make a formidable partnership, either for stereo hi-fi or fronting a home theatre installation. Spec

The CM1 may be ideal for smaller spaces, but don’t let the size of this bookshelf speaker fool you. Thanks to the quality of its construction, it’s capable of producing a sound that’s a match for its bigger brothers. Spec

The CM5 is a slightly larger speaker than its sibling the CM1, with even higher sensitivity and power handling, and better bass extension. It partners a sizable 165mm Kevlar® cone bass/midrange driver with a Nautilus™ tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter, capable of keeping high frequencies crisp and sharp all the way up to 50kHz and beyond. Spec

The CM7 produces the kind of breathtakingly lifelike sound that can command any medium-sized to large room, thanks to the harmony of the relationship between its genuine three-way driver line-up and its first-order crossover. Spec

The three-way CM9 delivers truly commanding bass with the aid of twin 165mm paper/Kevlar® cone drive units. An FST® driver, with its characteristic compression surround supporting the outer edge of the distinctive Kevlar® cone, is specially developed for outstanding midrange performance. Spec

Either on a bookshelf, floor stand or fixed to a wall, the versatile XT2 performs brilliantly both in a stereo set up and providing the front or rear channels in an AV system. That’s down to ingenious cabinet design and cutting-edge acoustic technology, refined and developed for our most advanced reference speakers. Spec

As either the front speaker in an AV system or in a conventional stereo set-up, the top-of-the-range, floor-standing XT8 delivers unrivalled performance with a sleek aesthetic that’s a match for any interior style, contemporary or traditional. The XT8 is a true three-way speaker boasting a Nautilus™ tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter, a Kevlar® FST midrange driver, and twin composite paper/Kevlar® cone bass drivers. The bass units provide low-frequency bandwidth and power handling in abundance, giving the XT8 a real sense of scale and dynamics. Spec
