Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 was £749 now £699 at Richer Sounds (save £50)
As we noted in our Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 review, "if you can afford and accommodate a step up above the compact 607 S3 speakers, want a larger scale of sound and need more oomph to your bass, the B&W 606 S3 will be more to your liking". These too are current Award winners, having picked up the Best Buy award as the 'Best standmount speaker £600-£800'. Bona-fide bargains now that they sit just below that price parameter.
