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

600 S3 is the Bowers & Wilkins 600 S3 Home Theatre Speaker System, priced at £3598, while 607 S3 White is the Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 Bookshelf Speakers in white, priced at £499. Both are part of the same 600 S3 family, but the 600 S3 package is a full cinema solution and the 607 S3 White is a compact stereo speaker pair.

The 600 S3 system has much greater speaker capacity, with an HTM6-S3 centre speaker, 603 S3 floor speakers, 607 S3 surround speakers and an ASW608 subwoofer included. The 607 S3 White listing provides a pair only, with stands not included, plus titanium tweeter, Continuum cone and upgraded speaker terminals. No power rating is supplied for either, but the package versus pair distinction is decisive.

600 S3 suits buyers who want immersive home cinema and are ready to spend heavily on a ready-matched Bowers & Wilkins speaker package. It is designed for larger rooms, AV receivers and films as much as music. 607 S3 White suits buyers who want high-quality bookshelf speakers for music, desktop-style hi-fi or smaller living spaces, with a white finish that looks lighter and less imposing.

Bottom line: choose 600 S3 if you want the £3598 complete home theatre package with centre, floor, surround and subwoofer speakers / opt for 607 S3 White if you want the £499 white bookshelf speaker pair.
