Bowers & Wilkins 685 S2 - Ex Display

Here on offer are our Ex-display Bowers & Wilkins 685 S2 In Black. In the very good condition with all original documentation, 5-year warranty, packaging and accessories supplied. One speaker has a small mark in the bottom right corner

Bowers & Wilkins engineers have employed much higher quality drivers than would normally be possible in a loudspeaker of this price level - we have a 165mm Aramid Fibre full range driver with centre anti-resonance plug for improved midrange, and a 25mm Nautilus loaded aluminium tweeter which has double dome/ring technology with gel cushioning which delivers sweet highs and astonishing stereo images. The crossover design has been simplified over previous models as a result of the better quality drivers, which gives this model a level of transparency and finesse rarely at this price, together with increased power handling and high sensitivity.

Who are Bowers and Wilkins?

The Bowers & Wilkins 685 S2 stereo loudspeakers are the most prized speaker in our showroom such is its excellent sound quality, slimline styling, convincing build quality and class. From the highs to the midrange and lows, 685S2 compliments all music types and works with a wide range of brands of electronics, it is our first choice with entry-level stereo systems ready for their first speaker upgrade. The 685 model has always been the one to aspire to for many audiophiles on a budget, but now it offers even more musical realism than ever before.

Note: Most ex-showcase/ex-display units are mint condition. Occasionally, minor aesthetic marks or blemishes may be present. While the unit may not be 100% perfect aesthetically, the sound and performance remain uncompromised. If you wish to confirm the condition of a unit before purchasing, please give us a call on 01432 354921.
