The largest speaker in the 600 Series. This floorstander is ideal for audiophile stereo and home theatre applications in larger rooms, delivering serious performance and amazing value.

The 683 S2 features a Decoupled Double Dome tweeter - technology evolved from Bowers & Wilkins CM10 speaker. The double dome design uses an extremely thin aluminium dome for lightness, surrounded by a thicker aluminium ring for rigidity. The result is a far more precise treble performance. And while the tweeter looks like it's part of the main speaker, it's physically separated in its own gel-filled cavity, so performance isn't hit by unwanted resonances or vibrations, for a more natural, spacious sound.

Serious and accurate bass performance is equally vital to such a room-filling speaker. That's why the 683 S2 features a new bass driver construction method, using a similar method of bracing to the tweeter with twin layers of aluminium. The richer, distortion-free bass response is sumptuous.

As well as new bass driver construction techniques and a new tweeter, brought in from Bower & Wilkins high-end series, the 683 S2 also boasts an FST Kevlar midrange driver. Serious technology, serious performance, but seriously affordable for a speaker of this calibre.

Expanding on the radical design found in the award winning Aero speakers, Aeromax 6 has been tuned to the max to become even better sounding than its predecessor. Available in beautiful, modern, gloss black and white lacquer finishes and with a more coherent and immersive sound, Aeromax 6 is innovative, stylish and ideal for those who want the best stereo performance.

By replacing the traditional tweeter with a BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) driver, the Aeromax 6 offers a radical improvement in audio quality compared to its rivals. Using the BMR shifts the crossover point between tweeter and woofer away from the usual 3kHz, right at the middle of the human ear\'s most sensitive hearing range, to a less problematic 250Hz. The result is a more natural, immersive and coherent sound. The 4th generation BMR® driver construction also delivers a more room-filling sound by using horizontal vibration modes for a much wider sound. This makes them ideal for modern homes and room layouts where speakers might not end up placed optimally for traditional stereo. You can place the Aeromax 6 where you want and still get great stereo and surround effects.

As well as offering a more coherent sound at the top end, the unique BMR® technology offers advantages at the bottom end too. Aeromax cone drivers and subwoofers are specifically designed to complement the BMR™ drivers - producing cinematic, immersive sound with sumptuous and accurate bass. And with two mid base drivers incorporated into the Aeromax 6 the bass is ground shaking.

Aeromax 2 and Aeromax 6 both feature a brand new, 4th generation BMR® driver with exceptional high frequency extension to deliver a crisp and detailed top end

Aeromax uses ultra high grade crossover components to bring superb levels of detail and transparency

Extensively braced cabinets lock the drive units mechanically to the cabinet structure resulting in lower colouration and cleaner dynamics. This is especially important with Aeromax as the drivers are actually high power subwoofers, so the more rigid the cabinet, the better

Aeromax 2 and 6 feature brand new, audiophile grade, gold plated speaker terminal posts for the ultimate performance

Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) internal cabling for the purest signal path from the audiophile grade, gold plated terminal posts to the crossover and drive units
