Verdict
The short version
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. HiFi Specs score from 6 rated aspects · compared across 162 speakers
