Product Description

Designed for hi-fi enthusiasts and home cinema lovers, the Bowers and Wilkins 685 delivers commanding sound without occupying floor space. Its 165mm Kevlar® cone bass/midrange driver, enhanced with a fixed centre bullet, smooths upper frequencies for clear, natural audio reproduction.

Positioning the bass/midrange driver closer to the tweeter improves integration and vertical dispersion, resulting in a more cohesive soundstage. The Nautilus™ tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter features a new surround material that enhances spaciousness and imaging, producing crisp, detailed highs extending up to 50kHz and beyond.

The latest 600 Series improvements include a minimalist crossover design using fewer, higher-quality components selected through exhaustive listening tests. This reduces signal degradation and ensures the audio output remains as faithful as possible to the original recording.
