Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 Bookshelf Speakers - (Pair)
Overview
A small bookshelf speaker doesn't have to sound small, and the Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 is built to prove that as the most compact model in the current 600 Series lineup.
A Titanium Dome tweeter handles the highs from a decoupled double-dome design, delivering smooth, refined high-frequency reproduction that stays composed even at higher volumes. Below it, a 5-inch Continuum cone covers bass and midrange, avoiding the abrupt behaviour changes that show up in conventional cone materials for open, neutral vocals and instruments. The tweeter grille mesh borrows its acoustically transparent design from B&W's Signature models, and the rear speaker terminals use the improved layout introduced on the 700 Series for a cleaner signal path.
Frequency response runs 52Hz to 28kHz (±3dB), with distortion under 1% from 100Hz to 22kHz, and the 2-way design pairs well with 30W to 100W amplifiers into its 8-ohm load. The cabinet is available in Black, White, or Oak, and doesn't include stands.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
At under 5kg per speaker, the 607 S3 is light enough to place on a desk or bookshelf, but it still benefits from a stable, non-hollow surface — a flimsy shelf will undercut the bass control this cabinet is capable of. Its compact size and voice-matched design also make it a natural surround channel if you're building out a 603 S3 or 606 S3 front stage rather than a standalone pair for a larger room. And with rear terminals derived from the 700 Series layout, bi-wiring or bi-amping is available if your system calls for it.

Why the Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 Stands Out
Decoupled Double Dome Titanium Tweeter
The Titanium Dome tweeter uses a decoupled double-dome design with an acoustically transparent mesh grille borrowed from B&W's Signature models.
5-Inch Continuum Cone Driver
The Continuum cone bass/midrange driver avoids the abrupt behaviour changes of conventional cone materials, keeping vocals and instruments open and uncoloured in a compact cabinet.
Flowport Reflex Venting
A rear-firing Flowport reduces port noise and turbulence, with foam tuning plugs included for placement closer to walls or shelving.
700 Series-Derived Terminals
Upgraded rear terminals use the improved layout introduced on the 700 Series, shortening the signal path and supporting bi-wire or bi-amp configurations.
Three Cabinet Finishes
Available in Black, White, or Oak, with matching grille colours for each finish.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- Small Rooms, Desks, and Bedrooms: A compact cabinet delivers 600 Series sound quality without needing space for a larger stand mount pair.
- Home Theatre Surround Channels: Voice-matched with the 603 S3 or 606 S3 for a consistent tonal match as rear or side surrounds.
- Bi-Amp and Bi-Wire Systems: 700 Series-derived rear terminals are ready for separate amplification without an adapter.
How It Compares
Next to the 707 S3, B&W's equivalent bookshelf speaker in the 700 Series, the 607 S3 uses the same 5-inch Continuum bass/midrange driver size but pairs it with a Titanium Dome tweeter instead of the 707 S3's Decoupled Carbon Dome. Both share the same driver layout and 2-way vented-box design, so the choice comes down to how much of a step up in tweeter technology you're looking for.
