Bowers & Wilkins celebrated the twenty fifth birthday of its well-known 600 Sequence audio system again in 2020 via launching the 607 S2 Anniversary Version. 3 years on, they in finding themselves not too long ago succeeded via the next-gen 607 S3 (pictured) and, simply as curiously, promoting at 38 in line with cent off their unique RRP. Thirty-eight!
That is proper, the five-star, former Award-winning 607 S2 AE are simply £279 at Sevenoaks in what we will be able to presume are their ultimate days of shelf lifestyles.
Those Bowers is probably not the most recent youngsters at the block, however those veteran favourites stay one of the vital absolute best audio system at their stage – and without a doubt the most efficient performers at this knockdown price ticket. At this time, there’s not anything at £279 we would counsel over them.
It’s this sort of excellent deal (and certain to be standard sufficient) that we doubt it is going to be crushed right through Black Friday 2023, although that most certainly is dependent upon how a lot ultimate inventory Sevenoaks and different shops (Richer Sounds lists them for £299) have left to push. In case you are after standmounts and your funds is underneath £300, we would strike now whilst the cost is sizzling and the audio system ‘in inventory’.
Whilst it’s no longer the primary time the B&W 607 S2 Anniversary Version have dipped beneath their £449 release worth, this really is an outstanding worth if you’re available in the market for audio system to fill a smaller house however can not reasonably stretch to the new Award-winning 607 S3, or certainly wouldn’t have the room and/or funds for the bigger (additionally five-star) 606 S2 Anniversary Version siblings (on sale for £349 at Sevenoaks and Richer Sounds due to an similarly compelling 42 in line with cent cut price, via the best way).
Regardless of the 607 S2 AE’s modest measurement (they are simply 30cm tall), they nonetheless set up to squeeze in a 13cm Continuum force unit, above which is a decoupled 25mm aluminium dome tweeter. Additionally key to their efficiency is the usage of particular bypass capacitors which were specifically handled via capacitor professionals Mundorf.
The online result’s a valid that is delivered with baggage of enthusiasm. The standard and projection of the audio system belie their diminutive dimensions, too: bass isn’t just deep but additionally extraordinarily agile. There may be a number of element throughout all the frequency vary, too.
Regardless of being rear-ported to succeed in a cleaner, sleeker total symbol, the 607 S2 Anniversary Version are dab arms at positioning whilst being flexible sufficient for just about any room in the home. Small, robust, adaptable and now virtually 40 in line with cent off… what is to not like?
