A Bose to B&W convert here. There was a time when I used to think the Bose Lifestyle system was the “apotheosis” of audio. Used to watch their demos in special rooms and would gasp with other people when the sheets got pulled after the demo revealing the tiny jewel cubes. That was 20 years ago. Today I listen to 600 series speakers. Such joy listening to a full range of frequencies..the mids especially.
From Klipsch last week to B&W baby 607-2 anniversary and will never go back or anywhere else. of course, i am 80 yrs old. Bravo impressive presentation - British
I have a pair of B&W DM6 speakers that I love...although my hearing has been reduced at my 84 years ...your speakers still deliver the sounds that make me happy...thank you
As ever with Bowers & Wilkins, what ever they do... oozes quality and this RUclips video just endorses the complete ethos John Bowers started, back in 1966.
I own 803D3's driven by McIntosh electronics in my big system, very happy indeed.
Honestly the shortest way to say it is ‘ bowers & Wilkins are insane and spectacular’
A great presentation Andy. Thank you for your invaluable input and collaboration with the RS 9 Carnaby project; we greatly look forward to working with you again.
Can't wait for 800 D4 release
Andy is a legend, had the pleasure of meeting him :)
I was lucky enough to get my hands on your new PI7 wireless earbuds and PX7 headphones, and I am blown away at the sound quality. I am definitely going to start saving some money so I can purchase a set of your speakers. Bowers and Wilkins is now my favorite audio manufacture.
I first bought the 604 in 1997 and ever since I fell in love with it. later CDM1, 602 S2, CDM centre etc
Absolutely great storytelling about the history of the company. Also a daring concept of true sound yet it speaks to me as a listener.
Had the 600 series for 18 years, along with the asw2000 sub,recently fitted out my entire system with 706s2 for the front, htm6 center, 607 and 606 surounds, and a pair of carbon edition px7 phones for when I'm away, a real B&W fanboy, some really good stuff
Metallic highs, dip in the mids and some bass that's bandw
Very impressive! I own the 705 nautilus in cherry wood and love the realistic sound they deliver. Hope to upgrade one day to the 805s.
A great presentation for great products and innovations 🎶🔊🎧👑
Owned P7, P7 wireless, PI3, PI4, Zeppelin Wireless, Formation Wedge and my Volvo XC90 with B&W sound system. Long live Bowers & Wilkins! A brand has glistening history and even more phenomenal in the future.
DM580 in the 90's. I sure loved them. 👍🏻
Was lucky enough to get a pair of used cm7s when I was younger and wow I was so impressed ! Now I have the cm10s2 and couldn’t be happier
Proud owner of Matrix 805s, which measure +/- 1.75 dB over their operating range. I’ve been an audiophile for 50 years, and they are still my overall top reference speaker.
I believe Bowers & Wilkins is the finest manufacturer of speakers in the world. I've thoroughly enjoyed my 804s, my Zepplin, and my headsets. I chose their headset over the Bose after testing both and finding the B&W to be better to my ears. I am looking forward to filling my TV surround sound need with B&W with the Formation system as it is compatible with Apple's AirPlay 2, which is good. Their dedicated Mesh system for this sound is promising but I am waiting for B&W to add the option for HDMI eARC connection to the back of the Bar. I would like this extra bandwidth to allow for more speakers in my movie watching area for a fuller sound. HDMI eARC also allows for more than just 5.1 setups, including Dolby Atmos. This brings up another issue with the Bar and that is no upward firing speakers. With no upward firing speakers; no HDMI eARC; and no ability to add in the Formation Duo speakers to the current 5.1 restricted setup for the Formation TV experience (only the bar with 3 channels, the Formation Bass and Formation Flex can be included in the 5.1 Formation system... the Formation Duo is NOT part of that so you won't get to use the Duo to help broaden your surround setup), there is too much that just hasn't been answered or dealt with for me to spend this money today. If the Formation had Dolby Atmos and allowed the Duo to be part of my movie watching experience, I would already have a full home full of Formation products to include the Audio for my B&W 804 speakers to be included, but it's just too restricted right now. So I'll wait.... for these issues to be resolved..... HDMI eARC so my B&W remote operates my TV too; Dolby Atmos and other great sound coding will be availalbe with the extra bandwidth of HDMI eARC; then upward firing speakers in the Bar to send out that Dolby Atmos (Atmost being "altitude" or sound from the "Atmos" of your space); then finally the ability to choose the Duo speakers as part of the larger sound room of 7.1 that would become available with HDMI eARC. I get that Bowers & Wilkins is a sound reproduciton company, but they are marketing the Formation Bar in images where it sits under Televisions and these questions are going to keep being asked while that is the case. So, I'll wait.
6:37 you sold me there.
B&W's VRIN levels are over 9000.
Love b&w headphones....both the px and PI3....
Own the PX , outstanding !
Owned 801 matrix, 805 signature and now 802 Nautilus with matching surrounds and asw4000 subs. Great speakers. The thing is, I dont aspire to own any of the newer 800 series. The reason being they just don't look as good.
B&W, The best there ever was. Own a DM 1200, 703s and a Zeppelin. I love the principle that the best speaker is not the one that gives the most, but loses the least!! Indeed, that principle is applicable to most relationships, teachers and mentors excepted: The best spouse/friend/partner is not one who gives you the most but demands the least of you!
Best there ever was? No arguments regarding the quality, I have the formation myself. But u sound like A Toyota Prius owner saying that the Prius is the best car ever. Educate urself and experiment Sonus Faber. That is the Rolls Royce of speakers. Keep ur Prius mate...
I love your brand! I own a pair of the original 801 Series 1 and use them for audio mastering 👌
Own and love a pair of 702’s with two REL subs. I am waiting for the D4’s to upgrade
Still happy with my DM605's at the moment.
I still have the DM 640 towers awesome..
Please make an app update with an EQ!!! Soo needed!
I still have my original P5’s from 10 years ago. Hard to fine parts but still sound great.
Long live B&W !
Bmw is better
/s
B&W makes the best sounding speakers in the world end of story ..
Great quality indeed. Love B&W, but the best....? Have u ever experienced the Italian Sonus Faber? That is Art.....
I own a pair of 805 d3 and 705 s2 and 2 older asw500 subwoofers what an awesome system
This guy is a great speaker. And the B&Ws are not bad either.
Hi Andy’
Will the Rotel 1590 power amp be enough to power an make the 702/703s2 sing-?
Or recommend power amp/electronics-???
I'm happy that I own the PX7. I'm happy with them, and I'm happy that I'm part of the B&W club.
Finishes on diamonds 802, 803 need improvement. Black and white glossy are fine if thats what u want, but need more. The rosewood wood finished offered is poor (although works with 804 d3), looks unfinished and cheap, needs a better finish. Prestige is really nice. Great speakers need great finishes.
Some people like the natural wood
Hi i have 19ft X 14 ft room i am planing to get B&W formation series the DUO pair, WEDGE Pair , Formation bar and sub woofer is this good enough for a room of that size
No los podré tener hasta dentro de 10años de segunda mano, pero tendré paciencia
Would love to work for this company
The true age of the B&W Nautilus is nearly 30 years not 20 Andy. I helped launch its prototype in 1991. Its long lived because its good.
Every time he is saying affordable my mind was like Don't sell any organ to buy this buddy
Classy and affordable
Andy, can you tell me how much performance is lost by making loudspeaker enclosures with flat walls as opposed to curved walls?
Quite a lot. But square boxes are easier to make.
I have 2 different sets of Bowers&Wilkins speakers and I love them! But I can't seem to find the foot pegs for the model no DM305? Can any one help me with purchasing these foot pegs for my speakers? I'll never let them go! My next purchase will be 2 of their Sub-Woofers, Thank you 😎
Hi Rico, if you could contact us directly at support@bowerswilkins.com we can forward your request onto our spares team to offer further advice.
Does it mean the D4 is coming up this year?
Hi there, keep an eye on our website for any announcements.
Hi do you offer spare parts for Zeppelins ? I’ve a few here with failed motherboards be a shame to throw them away too they are nice speakers and with a few reliability mods are brilliant. Thanks.
If a repair service in no longer offered by ourselves it's normally because all spare parts have been exhausted and are no longer being produced. Therefore we do not have any spare parts available. Wherever possible we continue to offer service and repairs for as long as it is practical to do so.
@@bowerswilkins Hello, that very understandable and obvious you are a business at the end of the day, it wouldn’t make sense for you guys to keep producing something you don’t sell anymore. Perhaps someone would be kind enough to upload a schematic for the Zeppelin boards to help some of us trying to keep something of this quality alive ? I’ve around 10 speakers all with failed main DSP boards from the full range of the Zeppelin series that I’m stumped on with the digital processing side of things and certain parts that I can’t identify, I can’t get them to get working again after the amplifier section breaks down basically the only way is to replace them with a known good unit. Working boards I heatsink all ICs and power devices that get close to close to 30 degrees during in operation, they will never fail and can be ran at max volume all day with out the unit going into thermal shutdown.
It’s a shame I love these speakers your engineers did a brilliant job on pretty much everything, but I understand how business works. When I can afford too I will be buying some new B&W kit, as I’ve never heard anything which has as warming sound as the products B&W produce. Thanks for the reply anyway, if you want I’ll remove both comments I don’t want to be seen as slandering or slating your products because they are definitely worth every penny and are brilliant quality. I guess you can’t win at everything in life though 🙏
@@MrReeceyburger123 if you search the Web you'll find a certain French man that can help you out. This is a very known fault of the Zeppelin Air and B&W know very well. Our Air broke down after 1 year but they would have none of it. Pitty cause it's still a brand new speaker that's useless but looks great nevertheless. It's a shame to bin it. Upgraded to the Wedge despite the poor customer service now and I love it.
I have the 601 can you recommend decent Bi Wires for these Speakers
Any good quality 79 strand speaker cable will be adequate for Bi Wiring. A basic rule of thumb is that you should budget a minimum 20% of your total system cost for cables and interconnects. For more advise and demo's of particular brands, we would always advise visiting a local HiFi dealership.
@@bowerswilkins thank you B&W
I would love some more "smart" integrations with headphones and formation products. I have so many of your products for the quality but you're so behind with smart tech.
Супер
I hope the new 800 series won’t be so bright and forward sounding.....
¿te best or not the best?
HALLO BOWERS AND WILKINS WHAT ABOUT TO MAKE A STUDIO MONITOR PRODUCT WITH FLAT RESPONSE ? IT'S A FANTASTIC IDEA FOR PRODUCERS THANK YOU !
B&W is known for the flat response.
My 1996 Matrix 805s measure +/- 1.75dB over their operating range. Is that flat enough for you?
OK, there is the heritage but I'm worried about your new owner; Sound United.
An american company... with an american philosophy : Profit is everything !
Dear Andy
May I please respectfully ask why did you guys in B&W decided to intentionally omitt the touch volume control in PI7 app when practicality every other touch control is included in this app and then you guys lock the app so it can not be customised, I mean seriously what gives?
Is there something you guys have against the volume control in PI7 ?
It's like being given the best T-Bone steak in town in a high class Cafe and then being asked to go to the kitchen to ask the head chef for salt and pepper should you want some more God forbid.
And the finisher is, that after patiently waiting so long for the PI7 and pre-ordering the PI7, this feels like getting a kick in the guts for indiscriminately supporting B&W.
Hi Anarkan, as Bluetooth headphones, the source device itself will offer volume control via the volume buttons on the handset itself, so freeing up the touch sensitive pads on the ear buds for functions that would normally require the phone to be unlocked and accessed directly. This allows direct access to ANC and Voice Assistant features as well as basic play/pause track forward/back and call interaction, whilst keeping overall operation simple.
no matter what you do, or what you trade, you have to be friendly, and honest.
i own 802. sold to me in 2014, 8 months before the facelift arives.
my butcher sometimes asks me to come tomorow because fresh meat is arriving.
my butcher is the better dealer.
he´s not that greedy.
What the hell are you talking about
about decent and indecent salesmen, you hollow pear
Very good movie , quality philosophy ? really , ? why the speakers are designed to be bad after warranty ?
PX headphones a nightmare. Stay away, especially if you have an iPhone. You’ve been warned!
Your hardware is excellent but you are not class leading with software. Are you looking to improve the app for Pi7 earbuds? It needs EQ options, input customisation and better ANC performance so that all noise is reduced, not just white noise.
Hello Richard,
We appreciate any and all comments our customers may have and thank you for taking the time to share yours. As we're always looking to improve, we welcome your opinion on how we can make our hardware and software even better. These are all excellent suggestions and we will ensure that they get to the right people for review and consideration. Please keep an eye out for future updates as they come!
new series visually doesn't look great as older ones.
P13 headset-Terrible product- terrible company policies!
This headset after barely being used, did not take any charge anymore. Well known defect of this very product according to other reviews. Contacted Bowers. Needed the receipt and box in order to return it! My two businesses buy 1000+ products every year. I would have to rent a storage unit to store all receipts and boxes, and then it would still take hours to find a single product that was purchased within a multiple purchase at a store such as Costco where I bought it. No slack on Bower's part! Even though it is well-known by now that the product itself is faulty. A car company would have issued a recall!
Good news:
Bowers lost me for good!
Costco won me forever!
Costco was able to track my purchase in seconds and issued a full refund after seven months, without the box or charger cable.
Funktion One is still better. these speakers cant hit below 40hz on specs.
I'm really disappointed with Bowers & Wilkins, and I doubt it I'll ever support Bowers & Wilkins again! If a senior person from B&W can contact me, I'll appreciate it.
Hi Mornay, you can always contact us directly at support@bowerswilkins.com and we can pass any inquiries you may have onto the relevant members of our team.
You really need to go back to more evenly voiced systems, like the original Nautilus 800 series, the CDM1NT, and similar designs. The current offerings are just voiced and engineered very poorly, with a huge midrange suckout and the tweeter far too hot, sounding unbearably shrill and shrieky, like a teenager gone wild with a graphic equalizer. I used to really respect and love B&W designs. Now they're just overpriced, shrill, and shouty, even worse than Klipsch bookshelf designs
Bye-bye bye-bye
You ruined the look of the 800 series as far as I’m concerned 😟
