Who are Bowers & Wilkins?

Bowers & Wilkins is a company that needs very little introduction, having been constructing some of the world's most critically acclaimed loudspeaker and headphone models for half of a decade—starting at the entry-level 600 S2 series, through to the 700 S2 high-end series and up to the 800 Diamond series and flagship Nautilus model. These different series of loudspeakers have been praised as the superior listening experience in both two-channel hifi/music listening and in multi-channel home theatre applications, having claimed a vast multitude of awards in both categories. A Bowers speaker can be easily recognised by the signature yellow Kevlar midrange cone, which can be found with their 600 and CM series with the 800 Series opting for a silver 'continuum' cone.

Bowers & Wilkins' highly acclaimed CM series was one of the company's most important loudspeaker ranges. Combining elegant design with outstanding sonic performance and available in a range of luxurious finishes, CM was positively received by the masses at both the consumer level and by critics and reviews. The 700 S2 series builds upon the exceptionally high standard set by CM and raises the bar higher than ever as a class-leading range of audiophile loudspeakers.
