B&W HTM6 S2 Anniversary Edition Review – Center Channel Speaker

The center channel speaker for the new 600 Series is the HTM6 S2 Anniversary Edition. The center channel is by far the most crucial speaker in home theater. The enjoyment of a movie will just not be there if you cannot comprehend the dialogue. We adore the way B&W used speaker drivers for the HTM6 S2 Anniversary Edition that were properly matched. It features two of the 5″ Continuum midrange/bass drivers and the identical tweeters found in all other variants. Although it is somewhat wide at 18″ to house that huge driver complement, it should easily fit into most systems given that it is only 10″ deep.

Design


Design

The Bowers & Wilkins HTM6 S2 Anniversary Edition cabinet is well constructed and seems quite stylish in the new oak veneer. When we compare it to a sample of the previous model, the new one represents a little improvement in fit and finish.

Sound Quality

Sound Quality

You may get a better understanding of why this speaker sounds so wonderful by looking more closely at Bowers & Wilkins’ cutting-edge technology. A second, thicker ring that lessens distortion is encircled by a thin, light aluminum dome that is the centerpiece of the Decoupled Double Dome tweeter. To protect the assembly from cabinet vibrations that can muddy the sound, it is isolated from the mount. The dual ContinuumTM woofers use technology from the high-end 800 Series of the business. The composite design of the cone allows for smooth transitions and highly realistic dialogue and music.

    I enjoyed watching movie on my s2 anniversary addition

    By Hemant Mishra 

    Length of Use: Less than 3 months

    Overall Experience:

    Below my viewing screen on the shelf of my current equipment stand, the HTM6 S2 centre speaker fit well. Speaker is really nicely crafted. I enjoy viewing movies more since the audio is so clear.
