Q: QuestionCan 14 watts per channel achieve satisfactory volume in a 12 by 20 room?(1 answer)
A: AnswerHello. In some cases, yes. For example - if you are using a high quality 14 watt tube amplifier with uncompromising output transformers, your source's output isn't too minimal, and you aren't trying to annoy your neighbors, then it I can work well. Some of it will depend on your expectations and desired volume level. As there is no mention of the make and model of the amplifier in question, it's difficult to be more certain. Not all 14 watt amplifiers will drive a pair of 606S3s equally.Answered by Bowers & Wilkins Team

Do take a listen to these speakers!
I auditioned this against Polk, Klipsch, JBL, Elac, and other bookshelf speakers. These stood out the the most captivating sound. Just down right enjoyable to sit and listen to our favorite new and old music.

Sound beautiful
Using these as side surrounds in a home theater 7.1 setup. Noticable sound difference from my old setup. Took a bit to find the right placement and configuration with my receiver but after a day of playing with that. Its Bliss
