Bowers & Wilkins - 4" 100W Satellite Speaker (Each) - Matte White

There simply is no down side to these speakers, allowing that no premium product of any sort can be purchased for a low dollar amount. But even at about $250.00 each, these speakers are worth the price in spades. There is hardly anywhere these speakers cannot be placed, fixed or hung, even on top of your head, if you like, by mounting them on a bike helmet or other head gear. Aside from that, their compact size and style allows you to locate them as inconspicuously as possible, to least detract from your interior décor. Last but very pointedly not least is their sound quality. Their wide frequency range and clarity, and their capacity of making speech intelligible at low volume levels is a thing of wonder.

I purchased these to fill my living room space. We have a movie room, so I didn't want a full blown surround sound system with towering speakers and such. These b&with seamed to fit the bill. All I can say is WOW! Not quite the fullness as my 685s and 686s, but they sound great. I also have a 10" sub which helps make up for the size deficiency of these speakers.

These small speakers more than exceed their size and sound great. I'm using for front surround for my Sony TV and stereo with a Yamaha receiver. ** My only complaint is I purchased two as open box/ satisfactory condition. So I was prepared for minor nicks or marks on them. One of the two came in original box and was actually near perfect condition. The other was in unmarked carton. This 2nd speaker has been used to the point that the swivel function left-right or up-down is warn out. So this one only only points down. ** So I would recommend for purchase. Just beware of open box product.

I purchased the B&W speaker to use as a center channel after discussing my options with the Magnolia specialist. I was originally thinking of a dedicated center channel speaker but I was limited with the amount of room I had beneath my TV. The specialist recommended this speaker even though it is used as a bookshelf speaker. I could not be happier with this product.

These speakers perform very well for my side surrounds. They are compact for the sound and the white color blends in well on the wall/ ceiling. That being said, they are quite pricey for surround use. Where the performance shows is in 7 speaker music playback, which is maybe 10% of my use. The speaker converts from table stand to wall mount, and runs the speaker wire in an interesting and complicated way to try to hide it, but it doesn’t really clean up the install THAT much. Coming from an engineer, It is over engineered. The important part, the wire connection, is BAD on the wall setup. the wire set screws barely hold a wire and strip out easily. I tried tinned wires and non-tinned. All in all, glad I have them, but can’t help but think I could have found a better value white speaker elsewhere.

I purchased 3 of these speakers as Open box items. Fortunately, I planned to mount them in my theater and did not need the missing bookshelf stands. They work perfectly in my 7.2 surround sound system as front and center speakers.

The colors couldn't have matched my walls better. Aesthetics are perfect. When you crank up the volume the sound is way above my expectations. Do yourself a favor. Spend the money and by the BW complete set. Anything less is just, well... Less.

Next time you hear Collin Farrell speak you might be able to understand him with these U.K. luxury speakers. You won't believe the punch this small speaker carries. It will allow you to hear the intricacies of the British accent that you didn't know were there. Open your ears to an empire of sound you didn't know was possible. The sun will never set on the party that these speakers are pumping at.
