B&W 40th Anniversary Blue Note Speaker Giveaway Contest!

Any orders placed during the month of May will be entered into a drawing to receive a free Blue Note collector's edition pair of B&W DM600 S3 speakers!

The B&W 600 Series bookshelf monitors are classics of audio design. Equally suited to five-channel home cinema - as front or surround speakers - or two-channel audio, all three feature B&W’s Nautilus™-derived tweeter tube, a woven Kevlar® mid-range/bass driver and a Flowport™ vent.

Primarily a small surround speaker in home cinema installations, the DM600 S3 can double as a high-performance compact hi-fi speaker. A keyhole and two rubber feet on the back of the unit allow for easy, rattle-free on-wall mounting.

The DM600 S3 is a small speaker designed for mounting directly on-wall, but stand or shelf mounting is also possible. Its primary use is as an unobtrusive surround speaker, but it may be used in other applications where small size is important.

The performance of the 120mm (5-in) Kevlar® cone bass / midrange driver and tube-loaded metal dome tweeter belie the speaker's diminutive size.

The DM600 S3 comes complete with a simple wall mounting bracket that spaces it sufficiently from the wall for cable access and to allow the rear-firing Flowport to operate effectively.

"This accurate, capable system is the second-most expensive system in this test. Very musical, super-sharp and ultra-listenable, the 600 has the lot. There’s no sub and you’ll need a good AV system to get the very best out of this package, but it’s our undisputed Editor’s Choice."
