The 607 S3 is a bookshelf loudspeaker from Bowers & Wilkins, sitting below the 606 S3 within the accessible 600 Series with a comparatively modest sensitivity. The 607 S3 brings B&W's considered engineering to a compact stand-mount format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally wide 52Hz to 28,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, matching the 606 S3. Sensitivity is a comparatively modest 84dB into the standard 8 ohm load - somewhat lower than the 606 S3's 88dB. Recommended amplifier power spans 30-100W. At 30.0 x 16.5 x 23.5cm and 4.65kg, the 607 S3 maintains a considerably more compact, lighter footprint than the 606 S3.

Sound and use context

Expect the refined, richly detailed character B&W's broader British catalogue is celebrated for, packed into this considerably more compact, accessible bookshelf format.

Pairing

The standard 8 ohm impedance suits a broad selection of amplifiers, though the comparatively modest 84dB sensitivity benefits from a reasonably capable amplifier for satisfying dynamic headroom.

Alternatives

B&W's own 606 S3 offers a somewhat more substantial, more sensitive alternative within the same broader 600 Series catalogue. This overview reflects best currently available information for this speaker, and buyers are encouraged to confirm complete specifications directly with B&W before finalising any purchase.
