Bowers & Wilkins Formation Bass
The Formation Bass adds another level of depth to your existing Formation set up, some might say that the Bass even puts wired subwoofers to the test. Following the same level design as the other Formation range, the Bass looks the part in any sort of home environment. A unique feature of the Bass is that it has a dual driver technology to reduce any distortion produced whilst being backed by a rather powerful Class D amplifier with dynamic EQ, allowing clear and crisp sound.
The Bass is more accurate and expressive, giving the listener a greater depth of sound, you will get so submerged with this, you will not only hear it, but you will also feel the sensation the Formation Bass. This will also pair hand in hand with any other Formation products, especially the Formation Bar, together you will have the highest quality sounding wireless system.

Who are Bowers and Wilkins and what is their Formation Range?
Bowers & Wilkins are a company who needs a 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 new 700 S2 series audiophile range, 800 Diamond series and flagship Nautilus model. These different series of loudspeaker 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 Aramid fibre. cone, which can be found with their 600 series with the latest 700 and 800 Series opting for a silver 'continuum' cone.
Bowers & Wilkins have made their "Wireless" product range Formation and yes, it definitely lives up to the high expectations. You can now stream music effortlessly in high-resolution from the comfort of your living room. Not only does the Formation Range sound impressive, but it also looks the part as well, taking a boldly modern approach to make any Formation product look truly stunning in any sort of home environment. We personally feel like B&W have really hit the nail on the head with this debut.
