Better yet, 603 S3 gives you membership without the price tag often associated with many Bowers & Wilkins models all the while providing the company's famed levels of performance, quality, and purity. Finished with a grille cover taken directly from the 800 Series Signature, 603 S3 proves spectacular whether used in two-channel audio systems or as an anchor for a surround system. 

Smooth, refined, and accurate, 603 S3 realizes no two music lovers are alike and handles practically every imaginable style with authority, liveliness, and insight. It reveals the tonal majesty of a violin solo, nuanced phrasing of a chanteuse, weight of a doom-metal dirge, colorful lines of a jazz combo, fluid pulse of a hip-hop track, and inertia of an arena-rock anthem with profound definition, accurate detail, and involving emotionalism. Not content to sit on the sidelines, or have you do the same, 603 S3 opens up the lid on recordings, offering fullness, snap, and speed that put an end to any notion of passive listening.

The acumen of the dynamic 603 S3 extends to its six-inch Continuum cone midrange driver – a trademarked innovation that took eight years to develop and first found in Bowers & Wilkins' much costlier 800 Series. It works in total harmony with two 6.5-inch woofers and the aforementioned titanium dome tweeter to provide engaging purity and realism. An exemplar of precision, the 60.6-pound 603 S3 probes and identifies the layers embedded in songs and albums, and renders film soundtracks with an immersive aptitude that nonetheless avoids being sterile or clinical.

With minimalist looks, the three-way vented-box design aces aesthetics. A white, oak, or black matte finish complements panels free of grille pegs and sleek cosmetics that hide the rear-firing, dimpled, flared Flowport in the back of the cabinet. Speaking of, each 40.2 x 10.2 x 14.5-inch (HWD) 603 S3 includes a two-piece foam plug that can be inserted (or left out) for further bass tweaking. Upgraded speaker terminals, removable magnetic grilles, spiked feet and associated hardware, and self-adhesive rubber feet add to the user-friendly versatility.

Voice-matched to all 600 S3 Series models, 603 S3 achieves equal success in a multichannel setup. It excels at both low and high levels, while its vented-box architecture means you'll also enjoy satisfying low-end frequencies that help bring involving energy to the entertainment at hand.
