Layered, beautiful details
The new 603 S3 introduces our all-new Titanium Dome tweeter, which combines exceptional resolution and insight with smooth, refined high-frequency reproduction. The result? An accurate and immersive insight into your favorite music.
Truly amazing sound
603 S3 introduces our new and even more acoustically transparent tweeter grille mesh, first developed for our revered Signature models. Alongside the new Titanium Dome tweeter, the resolution and realism is exceptional.
Precision and transparency
Thanks to its composite construction, the Continuum cone avoids the abrupt transitions in behavior that can impair the performance of a conventional drive unit. With 603 S3, experience a more open, neutral performance that delivers voices and instruments with precision and transparency.
Upgraded speaker terminals
Derived from the speaker terminals recently introduced in our 700 Series range, the speaker terminals on the new 603 S3 feature an improved layout and a cleaner signal path between your amplifier and your loudspeakers.
The Bowers & Wilkins 603 S3 is the largest and most capable speaker in the 600 Series, a 3-way floorstanding tower built for larger rooms and dedicated home theaters. It pairs a titanium dome tweeter with a dedicated Continuum cone FST midrange driver and two 6.5-inch paper cone bass drivers, splitting frequency duty across three dedicated drivers rather than the 2-way design used in the series' bookshelf models, which delivers more room-filling scale and low-end authority. The 3-way vented-box Flowport enclosure and acoustically transparent tweeter grille carry the same design language as the smaller 600 and 607 models, but sensitivity climbs to 90dB and the recommended amplifier range extends up to 200 watts into 8 ohms, giving it real headroom for larger spaces. At just over 40 inches tall including its plinth, it's a genuine floorstanding tower rather than a stand-mount speaker, and it can anchor either a stereo system or serve as the front left/right pair in a full 600 Series home theater build. Sold as a pair in black, white, or oak finishes.
