The Bowers and Wilkins ASW610 Subwoofer

With a 250mm long throw Aramid Fibre cone and 200W class D power amplifier behind it, the B&W ASW610 really kicks out when required in movie soundtracks, but is also subtle and tuneful enough to enhance the low-frequency performance of a small pair of standmount loudspeakers in a music system. A unique, very stiff cone material comprising a mixture of resin, paper pulp and Aramid fibres means that there is no distortion whether playing loud or soft, and dynamics are dramatically enhanced by the long throw capability of this driver. The braced, acoustically invert cabinet further serves the low-frequency extension and control of this excellent subwoofer.

Starting at the entry level 600 series, through to the new 700 S2 series audiophile range, 800 Diamond series and flagship Nautilus model. These different series of loudspeaker have been praised as the superior listening experience in both two-channel hifi/music listening and in multi-channel home theatre applications, having claimed a vast multitude of awards in both categories. A Bowers speaker can be easily recognised by the signature yellow Aramid Fibre cone, which can be found with their 600 series with the latest 700 and 800 Series opting for a silver 'continuum' cone
