About the DS6
The Bowers & Wilkins DS6 are dedicated dipole surround speakers for home theater systems, THX-certified to create immersive, non-localized surround effects. They feature a 120mm woven Kevlar cone bass/midrange driver for low coloration and high definition, plus two 80mm paper cone midrange/high-frequency drivers positioned on opposing sides with opposite polarity to produce a diffuse soundfield. The speakers support handed left/right placement for optimal panning. Available in black or white finishes (white is primer-ready for custom painting), they include wall-mount keyhole slots and optional shelf stands. Produced from 1995-2001 in England, they conform to Lucasfilm's Home THX specifications and were originally developed with technology from the B&W 800 Series.
