Treat Music and Movies with Reverence: Bowers & Wilkins HTM6 S3 Center-Channel Speaker Features Two Continuum Cone Drivers, Titanium Tweeter
Continuum cone technology and a decoupled double-dome titanium tweeter that performs with incredible openness and smoothness: That's all that really needs to be said to understand why the Bowers & Wilkins HTM6 S3 center-channel loudspeaker plays with a level of clarity, purity, and accuracy that will help transform any three-channel or surround system into a space that treats music and movies with deep reverence.
Developed over an eight-year period and first found on the company's flagship 800 Series Diamond line, the two five-inch Continuum drivers found in HTM6 S3 play with enticing transparency and punch. The tandem works in concert with a new one-inch tweeter that offers multi-layered detail and involving dynamics. With HTM6 S3, any debates about going out or staying in will get much easier.
Measuring only 6.3 x 18.9 x 10 inches (HWD), HTM6 32 takes up little space and fits almost anywhere. And with its minimalist looks and upgraded tweeter grille mesh for even more openness, the 17-pound design also aces aesthetics. A white, oak, or black matte finish complements panels free of grille pegs and sleek architecture that hides the rear-firing, dimpled, flared Flowport in the back of the cabinet. Tailored to match the sound of the Bowers & Wilkins 603 S3 towers and 606 S3 and 607 S3 bookshelf models, HTM6 S3 brings iconic Bowers & Wilkins sonics and build to your room for a price that won't cause you to look twice.
