B&W 603 S3
B&W floorstanding speaker fitted with a Continuum cone midrange and two dedicated woofers, designed for spacious and precise hi-fi listening.
Description
The 603 S3 is a floorstanding speaker from B&W, designed to take a central place in a high-end stereo hi-fi or home cinema system. It combines a Continuum cone midrange, a technology characteristic of the brand, with two dedicated woofers, to cover the entire sound spectrum with a single speaker per channel.
The Continuum cone midrange is renowned at B&W for its precision and transparency: it aims to reproduce voices and instruments with minimal coloration. The two woofers, meanwhile, bring scale and power to the bass, useful for filling medium to large rooms without resorting to a separate subwoofer. This S3 version also benefits from improved crossovers, said to deliver greater sonic transparency compared with previous generations, as well as a distinctive trim ring that sets it apart visually within the range.
This speaker is aimed at music and home cinema enthusiasts looking for a versatile floorstander, capable of rendering both the subtlety of a voice and the energy of an up-tempo track. It will suit those wanting a complete stereo system without multiplying components, the dual bass section allowing it to cope with demanding use.
What to check before buying used
Check the condition of the surrounds on both woofers: sagging, tearing or hardening of the surround affects performance in the lower register. Also inspect the Continuum cone midrange, which should be free of any impact marks or dents, as well as the cabinet (veneer, corners, base) to rule out any knocks or signs of damp. Testing at moderate volume allows you to detect any parasitic noise or localised distortion on one of the three drivers.
