The Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 is as elegant and refined a bookshelf speaker as I’ve come across. But can it be more?

Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 Bookshelf Loudspeaker

Introduction

My favorite pair of speakers is the mighty B&W 685 S1. I bought a floor model pair from a store in Toronto. Since then, B&W has iterated the 600 series with newer models, and I have been super curious to see what they sounded like. When this most recent release of the 600 Series was released, I requested a pair. I was able to get my paws on the smaller sibling, the 607 S3. It is a beautiful small bookshelf/ stand mount and looks to be a more refined and far better-built speaker. But how does it sound?
