Bowers & Wilkins Bowers & Wilkins 600 S3 Home Theatre Speaker System vs Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 Bookshelf Speakers - Oak — Comparison

600 S3 is the Bowers & Wilkins 600 S3 Home Theatre Speaker System, priced at £3598, while 607 S3 Oak is the Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 Bookshelf Speakers in oak, priced at £499. Both sit in the 600 S3 speaker family, but the first is a complete home cinema package and the second is a stereo bookshelf speaker pair.

The 600 S3 package includes 1 HTM6-S3 centre speaker, 1 set of 603 S3 floor speakers, 1 set of 607 S3 surround speakers and 1 ASW608 subwoofer. The 607 S3 Oak listing is a pair of bookshelf speakers with titanium tweeter, Continuum cone and upgraded speaker terminals, with stands not included. No amplifier power is supplied, but the capacity difference is huge: full surround system versus two speakers.

600 S3 suits buyers planning a serious home theatre installation who need front, centre, surround and bass covered in one package. It is far more expensive, but it avoids piecing together a cinema speaker setup later. 607 S3 Oak suits buyers focused on stereo music, compact rooms or starting a system gradually, especially if oak finish matters and they already have suitable stands or shelves.

Bottom line: choose 600 S3 if you want the £3598 full Bowers & Wilkins home theatre speaker package / opt for 607 S3 Oak if you want the £499 oak bookshelf speaker pair with titanium tweeter and Continuum cone.
