The Bowers and Wilkins 706 S2 Loudspeakers 

The 706 is the entry level larger stand-mount speaker in the series, seated between the compact bookshelf 707 and the tweeter-on-top 705 models. The 706 is a 2-way vented loudspeaker, featuring a Continuum bass/midrange woofer 165mm in size and a 25mm carbon coated dome tweeter to offer a superlative sound quality, ideal for larger listening environments. 

What is the 700 S2 Series?

While the 700 series follows a similar model structure and physical profile as CM, both the sound and general appearance of the range has seen significant improvement. While the double-decoupled dome equipped by CM was arguably one of the best tweeter advances of its time, Bowers & Wilkins have trickled down technology from their flagship Diamond series in the high-frequency driver of the new 700 range to enhance this outstanding sound quality while sitting it at a more accessible price-point. While the Diamond range tweeter uses a synthetic diamond coating design, the 700 series features a state-of-the-art carbon dome variant of this, specifically designed for the 700 models. This design allows for a highly rigid yet lightweight tweeter construction, resulting in a life-like and detailed high-frequency response, spread across a gloriously vast and accurate stereo image.

One immediately noticeable difference is the replacement of Bowers & Wilkins' signature yellow Aramid mid/bass units with a silver shaded 'Continuum' woofer. Kevlar is a great material, highly rigid and extremely light, meaning that vast amounts of air can be pushed at speed with precision and accuracy to result in a punchy and dynamic sound. Bowers & Wilkins' state-of-the-art Continuum material follows this basic principle but vastly improves upon these characteristics to form a faster, more rigid, better-sounding bass/midrange response than was previously possible. This technology was first developed and implemented in the company's flagship 800 diamond series. The larger three-way models in the 700 series make use of intelligent aerofoil profile bass cones for a tighter, clearer and more engaging bass response. 

All of this intricate and highly developed technology is embodied within elegant, beautifully finished cabinets that are reminiscent of their predecessors in the CM series, but also feature new aesthetic details such as trim rings, tweeter bodies and tweeter grille mesh structures. The 700 S2 series is available in gloss black, satin white and rosenut finishes.

Audiolab 6000A Integrated Amplifier

Audiolab has developed a new amplifier to join their new 6000 series, this is one very versatile integrated amp which needs to set its standards very high, so lets break them down, the 6000A comes with digital and analogue sources, wireless connectivity for any portable devices, a built-in phonostage to compliment your beloved turntable and built-in headphone amplification as well as speaker connectivity. This amplifier can pull of many pros, but it's how exceptionally well it pulls them off. The 6000A is an easy temptation without a doubt.

The 6000A shares a few similarities with Audiolabs 8300A with its rotary controls and large central OLED display, but, unlike the 8300A which cost more, the new 6000A incorporates a high-quality D/A conversion, enabling any digital sources to be connected directly without needing an external DAC. The 6000A has four digital inputs, three line-level analogue inputs, an input for your turntable, a favourite feature, wireless connectivity via Bluetooth and a dedicated headphone amp.

Audiolab 6000N Network Streamer

Audiolab's 6000N Play is the ideal way to add high-performance wireless streaming to any home audio system.

The 6000N Play combines the well-established versatility and compatibility of the DTS Play-Fi wireless audio platform, found in products from companies such as Rotel, Arcam, McIntosh, Sonus-Faber and Pioneer, to name a few.

The DTS Play-Fi app provides access to a wealth of music services, such as; Spotify, Tidal, HDTracks, Deezer, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Napster, TuneIn, iHeartRadio and of course Bluetooth. The network player also supports high-resolution playback up to 24-bit 192kHz and features the fantastic ES9018 Sabre32 DAC chip, which when coupled to Audiolab's own circuitry, produces ultra-low noise, high dynamic range, high-resolution music.

Thanks to the high-quality Sabre32 DAC chip, the 6000N can be connected to any system via its analogue RCA output. Alternatively, the 6000N can be connected to an external DAC or even to an amplifier with digital inputs, such as the Audiolab 6000A, which features the same high-quality Sabre32 chip.

Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport 

The Audiolab 6000CDT is the newest CD transporter to be introduced into their new 6000 series, incorporating the same slot-loading mechanism as Audiolabs' flagship CD player, the 8300CD. Like its older brother, the 6000CDT is extremely robust and reliable. A smart feature on this transporter is that it uses a read-ahead digital buffer to reduce disc-reading failures and is able to play scratched or damaged CDs that are unreadable by other CD players

Audiolab's 6000 series sees a number of improvements over its predecessor 8300CD range with each component having been reviewed, assessed and redefined over a number of years worth of research. More efficient materials have been used, and have been implemented in a way that allows for an even better fidelity across the board. The look and feel of the series have also been updated, resulting in a cleaner, more modern aesthetic. The 6000 series has raised the bar once again and sees drastic upgrades to what was already an industry-leading range of hifi products.
