The Bowers & Wilkins DM603 is a 2-way, 3-driver loudspeaker system produced from 1995 to 1999, designed as a floorstanding speaker with a bass reflex enclosure and a passive radiator. It features a 180mm Kevlar cone bass/midrange driver, a 26mm metal dome tweeter, and a 180mm passive radiator to deliver rich, rounded bass. The speaker has a frequency response of 39Hz to 30kHz, sensitivity of 90dB, and an impedance of 8 ohms. It is recommended to be paired with amplifiers delivering 25 to 120 watts. The enclosure is finished in black ash vinyl with a black cloth grille. Dimensions are 850mm height, 236mm width, and 306mm depth, weighing 17.3 kg. The DM603 allows bass tuning via acoustic foam plugs to damp the reflex port, offering three bass alignment variations. It is well suited as front channel speakers in home cinema systems and is praised for its sound quality and value.
