Description

The B&W 607 bookshelf speaker is going through a rebirth and is now named 607 S2 Anniversary. Of course, she’s still the worthy successor of the British manufacturer’s DM “Domestic Monitor” ranges.

As of today, it’s also the cheapest speaker by B&W 

B&W 607 S2 ANNIVERSARY: DESIGN AND FRONT PANEL

We have here the traditional dimensions of the so-called bookshelf speakers, even though these ones can already be considered as being pretty large with its 30 cm in height and 21 cm in depth.

We also have a speaker grille in black or grey jersey depending on the finish (black, white or oak), fixed at the front panel with magnets. It allows to keep the front panel clean and brand new if we don’t want to use the grille.

At the front panel, there are 2 transducers.

B&W 607 S2 ANNIVERSARY: TWEETER

The new 600 S2 Anniversary range has a greatly improved version of the double aluminium dome tweeter from the British manufacturer. At its back, we have a cushioned decompression cone and a very powerful circular magnet.

The resonance frequency was pushed up to 38 kHz to offer an unmatched clarity and accuracy, as well as no distortions in audible high frequencies.

B&W 607 S2 ANNIVERSARY: MID-RANGE/BASS

The mid-range and the bass are reproduced by a unique 13 cm Continuum cone driver.

This membrane imposed an 8-year study on Bowers & Wilkins. It has superior performance to those offered by the Aramid fiber used on the previous ranges. It ensures a rendition with a transparency and dynamic range of excellent quality in the mid-range register. In fact, it is present on the high-end models of the 800 range.

This driver is loaded in Bass reflex with a Flowport ™ vent which exits at the back of the Hi-Fi speaker.

B&W 607 S2 ANNIVERSARY: FILTER AND TERMINAL BLOCK

The filter was entirely remade from the old version. It uses polypropylene capacitors with a 5% tolerance and very accurate air core coils.

It is linked to a quality gold plated double terminal block.

B&W 607 S2 ANNIVERSARY: SETUP

The setup is rather simple and does not require a lot of precaution, aside from placing the B&W 607 S2 Anniversary from 60 to 80 cm off the ground and not against the wall. It is better to leave at least 20 cm behind the speaker if we want to keep a realistic bass.

The B&W 607 S2 speakers are delivered with two foam filters which can be placed in the vent to change the frequency response in the bass if necessary.

B&W offers a specific speaker stand of excellent quality, the B&W Stav24 S2.

B&W 607 S2 ANNIVERSARY: TESTING AND LISTENING

The restitution is stunning in terms of expressiveness and naturalness. The transparency is remarkable and the spatialisation excellent.

The texture and the balance are surely the main assets of this B&W 607 S2 Anniversary. The mid-range is perfectly rendered and offers a better accuracy and more clarity than with the previous model. The treble is of great finesse and is largely responsible for the balance of this Hi-Fi speaker.

The bass is stunning for a speaker of such a small size and perfectly legible on top of that. Of course, they are not to be placed against the wall as to not artificially increase too much this part of the spectrum.

The B&W 607 S2 Anniversary bookshelf speaker is an excellent and beautiful speaker. Its simplicity and musical qualities allow the setup of effective and affordable high fidelity small sets in small areas.
