||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with them they sound nice. They got a full spectrum. Nice little bump in the low end. At $200 they’re a little pricey, but I’m very happy with them

Best outdoor speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had bought A pair years ago for my old house. When I moved I just had to take them with me and replace with less expensive klipsh for the buyers. I tried them out for the few weeks before I moved and did not even come close to the quality of the b&w. I now installed these in my new home and bought another pair of the same so they all match and have equal sound distribution. I have 4 of these now hooked up to a Sonos amp and they sound amazing. FYI the Sonos amp is 250w total so these speakers are getting 62.5 watts each and are way louder then you would need. Unless you don’t like your neighbors. The speaker says 100 watts peak power . No way do you need that much power . I keep these speakers with the volume way lower then they can handle right now as it is. But they have plenty of room for more .

Best outdoor speakers bar none
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best outdoor speakers I've heard. Was shopping around to replace some older Boston Acoustics speakers for my patio. I made a short list and listened to as many as I could in stores. None came close to the B&W. Night and day difference over my previous speakers. The clarity and fullness of the sound is unrivaled by any other outdoor speaker I've heard. Bass is more than adequate, although bassheads have other options to look into with some significant tradeoffs

Bowers and Wilkins. Worth the money!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great! If you need to fill a big space with some big sound go ahead and spend the money! I like the setup too. It's unique hardware that I enjoyed putting together. Weatherproof, of course. Mine are out by the pool! Sounds great!

The jury is out on this item
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really liked the sound of these in the store. I installed them outdoors using the old cables and the sound is not as good as I had heard at the store. I am not sure whether it is from the cables or not. It is not easy for me to change the wires.

B&W FTW!!! (for the win...)
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let's be real. When it comes to interior and exterior speakers, your choices on which speakers to buy go on and on and on and on.... PLEASE...stay away from the speaker section that's out in the open and get your rear end over to the Magnolia room!!! BB has a Magnolia room for a reason....and that "other section" full of less than $100 speakers is there for a reason (buy an inferior product and you'll be back in a couple years buying another...aaaaand another - sorry BB, you are doing the right thing for the person who has a budget in mind, but the Magnolia room is the only place to buy GOOD quality speakers). You'll find the BEST long term, best sounding, highest quality speakers in the Magnolia room. Are they more expensive? Obviously! But, if you can understand the "once and done" method and if you live by it, you'll experience only the best...PERIOD. I picked up these speakers and installed them myself (for real...this isn't rocket science...anyone can do this...follow the directions!). Treble is phenomenal and the bass was surprising. Again, the guys at BB won't turn the speakers up full volume unless you insist. That's okay and all, but you need to hear the speakers at their best. The distortion that every speaker normally gets comes in at volumes that you will NOT listen to these exterior speakers at. I'm on the back patio right now listening to them and the sound quality is 2nd to none... I've had the others...Klipsch, Def Tech's, Polk, Yamaha... FINALLY, I was in a position to get the speakers I've always wanted and I'll NEVER look back! All the interior speakers are B&W's and now I have the entire house wired with the best that's ever been manufactured. Quality, clarity, durability, .... you won't be disappointed!

Excellent Sound, Design and Finish.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've installed several outdoor speakers from various brands and these B&W speakers are by far the best in terms of installation, sound, and design. These use a single swing arm style mounting mechanism with integrated wiring and terminals. The way they mount is very unique compared to other offerings. The overall fit and finish give a very clean install. Keep in mind that prior install preparation and technique will always yield a flawless installation regardless of the speaker choice. The sound is incredible. If matched to a good amplifier with adequate power these will more than satisfy your sound needs. For their size, they provide a great amount of bass projection and clarity. In part due to the bass radiator design on the back of the speaker housing and the shape/construction of the housing. While these are not inexpensive, you are getting a well-crafted speaker that meets and exceeds all requirements for an outdoor speaker compared to others in this category.

Best Outdoor Speakers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes they are pricey but they are the best outdoor speakers I have ever owned. I've had both B&W WM and Polk Atrium 6. These are both fine speakers but are not in the same league. Installation is a breeze and you have to hear the sound for yourself, Plenty of bass great stereo imaging. Buy and enjoy!

Incredible upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced a pair of Yamahas with these. The Yamahas sounded good but the Bowers & Wilkins are on another level. The fullness and clarity of music sound great even as the volume is turned up. Completely worth the price. Highly recommend these speakers.
