Bowers & Wilkins 603 S2 Oak Floorstanding Speaker

Bowers & Wilkins 603 S2 Oak Floorstanding Speaker
Bowers & Wilkins 603 S2 Oak is a passive floorstanding loudspeaker in the listed Oak finish. It uses a three-way arrangement for a stereo front channel or an appropriately planned home-cinema system. Why Choose Bowers & Wilkins 603 S2 Oak? The 603 S2 reference design combines an aluminium Double Dome tweeter, a dedicated 150mm Continuum FST midrange unit and two 165mm paper-cone bass drivers. Separate midrange and bass duties distinguish this floorstanding model from the smaller bookshelf speakers. Its cabinet and room position should be considered together when matching a suitable amplifier. The supplied catalogue omits the Anniversary Edition wording, so confirm that exact stock designation when comparing packages. Do not assign the 603 S3’s titanium tweeter to this S2 model. Key Features – Three-way layout: separate treble, midrange and bass duties. – Continuum FST midrange: dedicated 150mm unit. – Dual bass drivers: two 165mm paper cones. – Oak option: listed cabinet finish. Best Suited For
Stereo music listening and appropriately planned home-cinema channels using a suitable external amplifier. Choose speaker positions around the main listening seat, usable floor space and furniture. A loudspeaker is one part of the system: the source, amplifier and room influence the result, while secure placement helps maintain a consistent listening arrangement. Setup and Connection Guide
Switch the amplifier off before connecting suitable speaker cable and maintain matching positive and negative polarity at both ends. Follow the exact terminal and link instructions, especially where bi-wiring connections are provided. Position the speakers on stable support, allow the recommended cabinet clearance and start with a balanced distance from the listening seat. Test familiar music quietly, then adjust spacing and angle in small steps. In a receiver-based system, assign channels and run the supported calibration before checking crossover and playback levels. Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the 603 S3 with the Titanium Dome tweeter? The listing identifies 603 S2. Its manufacturer reference uses an aluminium tweeter, Continuum FST midrange and twin paper-cone bass drivers. Confirm the stock label and package quantity rather than treating S2 and S3 as interchangeable. Can these speakers play music directly from a phone without an amplifier? These are passive loudspeakers. A phone supplies a source signal, while an appropriate amplifier provides the power for the speaker terminals. Add compatible source equipment for Bluetooth or network music rather than assuming those functions are built into the cabinet. Does the amplifier recommendation mean that much power is always used? No. It is a matching guideline under the manufacturer’s stated conditions. Actual output varies with the signal and listening level. Check the amplifier’s load capability and avoid clipping; a higher numerical rating alone does not establish a safe or useful pairing. Technical Specifications Specification
