Features

1" Decoupled Double Dome Titanium Tweeter: The Bowers & Wilkins HTM6 S3 center-channel loudspeaker adopts their all new 1" Decoupled Double Dome Titanium Tweeter, a refined and upgraded version of their previous and proven Decoupled Double Dome tweeter, that delivers exceptional resolution and detail with smooth, clear high-frequency reproduction. The new Decoupled Double Dome tweeter uses a thin and light titanium dome, surrounded by a thicker ring, to prevent audible distortion. Decoupling also helps prevent cabinet vibrations reaching the tweeter. Synthetic gel cushions the decoupled tweeter, with the assembly isolated from the mounting hardware. In addition, the 1" Decoupled Double Dome Titanium tweeter features a new and even more acoustically transparent grille mesh. The result is a more natural, spacious, and accurate sound.

Dual 5" Continuum Cone Woofers: To complement the 1" titanium dome tweeter, the HTM6 S3 center-channel loudspeaker uses two 6.5" Continuum cone midbass/midrange drivers. Thanks to its composite construction, the Continuum cone provides a smooth and accurate sound by avoiding the abrupt transitions in behavior that can impair the performance of a conventional drive unit and cause distortion. As a result, voice and instruments are delivered with purity and precision.

Optimized Crossover Design: The Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series HTM6 S3 center-channel loudspeaker benefits from a new optimized crossover design featuring carefully selected components, offering greater detail from your music.

Flowport Technology: The B&W HTM6 S3 center-channel speaker utilizes Flowport Technology to create smooth, deep, and efficient bass response. Its bass reflex enclosure features a rear-firing, dimpled flared port that provides natural bass response without turbulent noise or distortion. If you want to reduce the volume of bass without moving the speaker further from the wall, fit the included foam plug into the rear-firing port for lesser bass response.

Acoustically Transparent Magnetic Grille: The Bowers & Wilkins HTM6 S3 center-channel loudspeaker comes with an acoustically transparent magnetic grille that's easy to install, looks great, and doesn't get in the way of the sound.

Dual Binding Post Terminals: The center-channel speaker has two sets of binding posts connected by jumper straps. The binding post terminals will accept bare wire, pin connectors, spade connectors, or banana plugs (single only). There are plastic inserts that will need to be removed from the binding post terminals in order to use banana plugs. Using the dual binding posts terminals, you can choose to bi-amp or bi-wire the speaker.

• Bi-Wiring: Bi-wiring can provide noticeable improvements in the overall transparency of your loudspeakers. Run separate speaker wires to the low & high frequency drivers from a single amplifier.
• Bi-Amping: Bi-amping allows you to use separate amplifiers for the high & low frequency sections of your loudspeaker for greater dynamic range & lower distortion. We recommend that your separate amplifiers have identical gain to preserve the speaker's voicing balance.

Mounting & Placement Options: The Bowers & Wilkins HTM6 S3 center-channel loudspeaker can simply be placed on a shelf, tabletop, or other piece of AV furniture. The included self-adhesive rubber feet secure the speaker to your mounting surface and protect your shelf or furniture from scratches. The rubber feet add approximately 0.1875" to the overall height of the speaker.

• The HTM6 S2 should be centered and positioned directly above or below your TV screen, whichever is closest to ear level at the main seated listening position.
• Moving the speaker further from the wall will generally reduce the volume of bass. Space behind the speaker will also help to create an aural impression of depth. Conversely, moving the speaker closer to the walls will increase the volume of bass.

600 Series: The Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series is designed for music and movie lover in mind. The 600 Series delivers Bowers & Wilkins' storied sound in simple 2ch stereo applications or more complex home theater setups. The 600 Series consists of one floorstanding loudspeaker (603 S3), two bookshelf loudspeakers (S606 S3 / S606 S3), and a center-channel loudspeaker (HTM6 S3) - all sold separately.

Optional Powered Sub: If you want even more immersive bass sound, add one of Bowers & Wilkins powered subs (sold separately).
