Bowers & Wilkins Six-Eight Series Speakers


The British manufacturer B&W is coming out with a host of new loudspeakers that marry the perfect blend of technology with looks. These fourth generation speakers are a spin-off of its hugely popular 600 Series. They incorporate technologies from the firm's reference-standard 800 Series as well. The 686 is a new entry-level model and is a very compact ( 10.4" x 6.7" x 9.8" HWD) two-way vented design with a 5" Kevlar bass/midrange driver and a 1" Nautilus tube-loaded aluminum dome tweeter. The 685 is housed a somewhat larger enclosure, with a 6.5 " Kevlar cone bass/midrange driver and the 1" Nautilus tube-loaded. Next up in the range is a two-and-half-way, vented-box, floor stander that features two new 6.5" Kevlar cone bass/midrange drivers-The 684. And last in line is the 683, which is a true three-way vented-box system featuring two high power, low distortion 6.5" aluminum bonded to paper/Kevlar bass drivers. It even has the 6" FST midrange driver and 1" aluminum tweeter and Nautilus housing.
