Personal Review

"This B&W 606 review covers my personal tryst with these bookshelf speakers, which I initially purchased to elevate the performance of my 20-year-old receiver. Overwhelmed by the initial sound quality, I soon came to appreciate their unique delivery of mid-high and deep notes regardless of the music genre. Despite a weaker bass punch in comparison to other models, the overall audio experience is hard to resist."

Bass Response

While the B&W 606's bass does not match up to the likes of Polk LSi9, it does carry a certain punch. The depth of lower notes, such as those from a flute or guitar, is commendable.

Treble Detail

9.5

The speakers make the higher notes (vocal or instrumental) the star of the sound stage. They're 'in your face,' as we like to say, without sounding shrill or overwhelming

Midrange Clarity

9.5

Midrange is where B&W 606 truly shines. Vibrant and moving, it offers an unparalleled clarity that brings out the emotion in the music.
