You’ll find their speakers in recording studios and mixing facilities around the world. The BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Ranch are just a few of the places that rely on their truthful sound. B&W also spends more on R&D than any speaker company we know of with a huge facility in Steyning England, home to a huge team of engineers and all kinds of exotic speaker measuring equipment. The real beauty of B&W for the vast majority of music lovers comes from their trickle down technology from their $30,000 plus speakers. This new 600 Series Anniversary Edition offers two bookshelf speakers - the 607 and 606, a tower speaker - the 603, and a matching center channel. All of these employ technology in the speaker components that just a few years ago could only be found in their $6,000 a pair and up speakers. Similar to the new 700 S2 series, with the new 600 series anniversary edition, B&W has added even more trickle down tech from their top of the line 800 series, with the most serious improvements to the crossovers. You can now get even more of the similar technology from the 800 Series from speakers starting at $700 a pair, almost 1/10 the price of where the 800 Series starts!

Their engineering team was given the task of inventing a better material that would offer significant improvements over their Kevlar drivers. It took over eight years, but they came up with a new material called Continuum. Continuum was totally developed by B&W and is only found in their speakers. The improvement in midrange transparency is stunning. Continuum, when used in a midrange driver, does not need the typical surround you see in most midrange speakers either, which contributes a lot to this new level of openness. Another factor is a great reduction in distortion. If you ever get a chance to visit their R&D facility in Steyning, you’ll see all kinds of lasers used to analyze speaker cone distortion. They used this high tech in the development of Continuum which is now part of the 600 series. Many years ago, B&W invented a tapered tube that sits behind the tweeter. In the original 800 models, it sits proudly on top of the speaker. As years have passed this design has been refined and in the 600 Series Anniversary edition it shows up as their Decoupled Double Dome. If you were to take the tweeter apart, you would see this is a very accurat
