About the LCR600 S3
The Bowers & Wilkins LCR600 S3 is a center channel speaker manufactured between 2002 and 2007 in England. It is designed as a 2.5-way bass reflex system with two 165 mm woven Kevlar bass-midrange drivers and a 25 mm aluminum dome tweeter. The speaker is magnetically shielded for use near televisions and can be oriented horizontally or vertically. It is suitable for pairing with larger models in the B&W range due to its larger cabinet volume and drivers, providing fuller midrange and better low-frequency performance. The frequency response ranges from 48 Hz to 42 kHz (-6 dB), with a sensitivity of 89 dB (2.83 V, 1 m) and an impedance of 8 ohms (minimum 3.0 ohms). Recommended amplifier power is between 25 and 150 watts. The speaker weighs 12.5 kg and measures 204 mm high, 545 mm wide, and 311 mm deep. It is praised for clean, clear sound with no distortion even at high volumes and is considered excellent value for its performance.
