During the 618 Shopping Festival in 2024, for consumers who want to buy entry-level HIFI speakers, the following are some noteworthy products and price predictions:
First of all, the first recommendation is:
[Bowers & Wilkins 607S3 bookshelf speaker]
Recommended Index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bowers & Wilkins' 607 S3 is a highly regarded bookshelf loudspeaker, and as a member of its popular 600 Series, the S3 version brings a number of technical improvements and design optimizations.
- Drive unit:
- Continuum™ midrange driver: a signature Bowers & Wilkins technology for the midrange section, designed to deliver a more transparent and detailed midrange response.
- Decoupled Double Dome: An improved tweeter design that reduces resonances through a double dome structure and decoupled mounting technology to ensure purer treble and better scalability.
- Woofer: Although a bookshelf speaker, the 607 S3 is equipped with a woofer that delivers deep bass performance, the exact size is not directly mentioned, but it is generally around 5 inches, and is designed to provide powerful low frequencies in a tight space.
- Cabinet design:
- Reinforced cabinet construction to reduce unwanted vibrations and improve sound purity.
- The cabinet materials and internal damping technology have been carefully designed to eliminate in-box resonances and ensure accurate sound quality.
- Frequency response: Typically, these speakers have a wide frequency response, e.g. from 50Hz to 28kHz, which covers most of the frequencies in the audible range of the human ear, ensuring full-range music reproduction.
- Power Handling & Sensitivity:
- The higher sensitivity means that they are able to efficiently convert the received power into sound energy, typically around 88dB/W/m, which means that even relatively small amplifiers can propel them.
- The recommended power range may be between 25W and 100W, depending on official data.
- Buy it
- [Price prediction, the pre-sale price of 618 this year should be between 4799 yuan and 4999 yuan] You need to use JD.com's plus super allowance of 400 yuan
- 【Bowers & Wilkins 606S3 Bookshelf Speaker】
- Recommended Index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Drive unit:
- Woofer: A 6.5-inch woofer delivers more powerful low-frequency performance than its predecessor.
- Tweeter: Equipped with a new titanium dome tweeter, it provides a clearer and more detailed high-frequency response than the 606 S2's aluminum dual dome tweeter.
- Midrange/woofer technology: Bowers & Wilkins Continuum™ diaphragm technology may be used, which has been shown to be effective in improving the purity and naturalness of the midrange.
- Crossover design: The 606 S3 features a three-way crossover design that helps to control audio signal distribution more precisely, ensuring that each driver is responsible for the frequency range that best suits it for a more balanced, natural sound.
- Cabinet Construction: The cabinet has been upgraded to provide stronger support and better internal damping to reduce resonances and improve sound quality. At the same time, the cabinet design is more modern, and the appearance adopts the same tweeter grille design as the 800 Collector's Series.
- Internal components: The crossover uses a higher level of bypass capacitors, which were previously only available in the higher-end 700 series, to help improve the purity of the crossover signal and the resolution of sound detail.
- Terminal Posts: The redesigned binding posts are the same as those of the 700 series, improving the stability of signal transmission and overall sound quality.
Upgrade points compared to 606 S2:
- Woofer size: The 606 S3's woofer has been upgraded from 5 inches to 6.5 inches, increasing the volume and depth of the bass frequencies.
- Crossover design: S3 is upgraded to a three-way crossover, while S2 is a two-way crossover, which makes S3 more refined in audio signal processing, and the sound field and separation are improved.
- Tweeter material: The S3 uses a titanium dome tweeter, which theoretically provides better high-frequency extension and less distortion than the S2's aluminum dual dome.
- Cabinet & Internal Technology: The S3 features significant improvements in cabinet construction, internal damping, and crossover elements to enhance the overall performance and purity of the speaker.
