Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best speakers I've EVER had. Not only do they drive pumping out 300 peak watts but they also have such crystal clarity sound. No question the best speakers on the market until you hit the 10K+ dollar mark.

You just can't go wrong when you get the best audio system available for the price. The overall sound quality coming out of these Bowers & Wilkins speakers is unmatched.

I finally step up my game buying these speakers with right amp great separation.

I’m kind a new on high end sound, but read a lot on the net, and decided for pre-amp Marantz, Amp Rotel, and speakers Bowers & Wilkins!! Also went to Magnolia stores, and listened to it in person!! Learned that at that price , it was very difficult to find another solid good option for speakers!

Amazing sounding full range speakers. Paired with a 200 wpc Rotel amplifier these speakers can rock out the toughest audio tracks or pick out the subtle nuances of a delicate Mozart sonata. There's a reason many major recording studios use B&W as their reference speaker.

This will last us forever and we will be able to leave it to our kids.

Extremely satisfied , very faithful reproduction of sound. Bright timbre.Best in the range

Performs well need hi end amplifier to get best performance

A month after I got them, one had to be exchanged as one of the woofers came apart inside the cabinet and was making a horrible rattle. After a year, one of the tweeters quit working completely. Now after year 2+ years, the other tweeter stopped working. Best Buy no longer has them so I have to deal with warranty service and shipping at my cost. 2 dead tweeters and a woofer that came apart within the 1st month. Very, very disappointed after 2 years of ownership. I will never buy another B&W product again. They look great but Im tired of exchanging them. They are powered by an Emotiva XPA Gen3 amp pushing 250 watts peak and these speakers are rated for 300 rms. So they are not being over driven. Poor QC!

Nice sound ! Keep in mind u will need a powerful amp to run these bad boys to hear their real quality . An integrated amp even a high end rotel will not achieve this .

This is a speaker that is noted for its excellent clarity and presentation of detail and it definitely comes through in those aspects. Each instrument is clearly defined. The soundstage is well presented. It disappoints in a few areas for me. Its size and design along with its glossy finish makes it dominate my room. This is obviously so subjective and it may not be even as negative for me if I had a deeper space. I did not have a choice with the finish as I bought the only available open box set. I have seen B&W speakers with real wood veneers and would likely regret my choice in the long term if I kept them. In terms of sound, I have two criticisms which became more apparent in a side by side audition with Sonus Faber speakers. The treble can be on the metallic, edgy side with some sibilance in higher notes such as female voices pronouncing the letter s and cymbal hits. Bass lacks a feeling of full extension. One could get a subwoofer to complement the speakers, but I prefer a two speaker set up. I think many others could settle in and enjoy these speakers so they earn the four stars awarded here.

Excellent range of sounds to capture every detail with precision. Wide sound stage with accurate placement of sounds. I’d recommend pairing with an AB amplifier such as Marantz!

Sound quality is simply amazing, period. Very expensive but also very amazing.

The clarity of these speakers is superb, something especially important for listening to classical music!

The sound of this pair is AMAZING! I purchased them for my home theater!

Anyone giving less than 5 stars should invest in some cotton swabs. With these bad boys words can’t describe. Hearing is believing.

Sounds excellent. Very clear highs and strong lows. World recommend

Putting in our basement for good entertainment viewing.

Expected a lot from this speaker as it is very expensive. Unfortunately it has lot of static and quality of sound is not great. I get head ache after listening for 10 minutes. My old bose lifestyle system sounds better

Without question the best speakers I have ever owned. Audiophile quality sound is fantastic. They are beautiful, heavy, glossy, and expensive. Worth it! Paired these with the LG C8 OLED and does not get any better. Wow.
