The B&W speaker package relies heavily on the merits of the 683 S2s – and rightly so, as they're easily the most overtly talented aspect of this 5.1 package.But they cast a shadow over the rest of the system, which is a shame as the 683 S2 Theatre is a fe...
Massive scale, Plenty of power, Plenty of nuance and delicacy
They need a spacious room to accommodate them
The 683 S2s are tremendously talented speakers, all things considered. We're impressed by their power, scale and delicacy – they're wonderfully versatile performers....
Abstract: I was amazed that the 683 S2's specs are so similar to those of B&W's 804 Diamond, which I reviewed in the September 2013 issue . Indeed, as even their weights are almost identical—the 683 S2 weighs 59.8 lbs and the 804 Diamond 59.4 lbs—they seem to most...
Soundstaging, Presence and immediacy, Tight bass (with subwoofer)
Top end a bit restrained, Limited subwoofer output, Pedestrian styling
It took some effort to get their best in my room, but these relatively affordable B&Ws ultimately came through with a big, immediate, and generous sound....

Mit der brandneuen 683 S2 von B&W kommt richtig Freude auf. Sie spielt dynamisch bei Impulsen, kraftvoll im Tiefton, neutral in den Klangfarben, detailreich bei Soundnuancen und realistisch in der räumlichen Darstellung. Dazu sieht die Standbox elegant un...
Lange hat B&W im dicht besetzten Einsteigerbereich stillgehalten, dafür ist die Überraschung nun umso größer. Der wertige Aluhochtöner mit Doppelmembran macht sich klanglich sehr positiv bemerkbar. Die runderneuerte 683 tönt freier und impulsiver als der ...

B&W 603 S2 har fått en massa fin teknik från firmans toppserier som lyfter ljudet till en mycket hög nivå för prisklassen. Den är lättplacerad och spelar harmoniskt över hela frekvensregistret med kraft, snärt och mycket spelglädje
Designen är inte så spännande, i varje fall inte i svart. Skillnaden i kvalitet mellan högklassiga element och ett mer standardbetonat kabinett är märkbar
Bowers & Wilkins 683 S2 är en mycket lyckad uppdatering av den framgångsrika 600-serien. Att firman utvecklar teknik för high-end och implementerar den i de lägre prisklasserna ger fina förutsättningar för lyckade högtalare som man kan ha råd med. Hela se...
