Thread: The New B & W 684 Stereo Speaker

THE NEW B & W 684 STEREO SPEAKER, a B&W speaker from a mile off Well, perhaps not quite that far, but those unmistakable cones grab your attention like a glowing hi-fi beacon. In each 684 you get two of these yellow 16.scm woven kevlar cones - one handles mid-bass, the other takes care of low frequencies. Above the mid-bass driver you'll find the company's high¬quality 2smm aluminium tweeter, complete with a tubed chamber that absorbs the driver's rearward sound, producing cleaner, less distorted highs. The cabinets are tall, sturdy fellows and make for an intimidating pairing of bouncer-like proportions.




They're available in an array of vinyl finishes including Black Ash and Red Cherry. B&W has a reputation for building hugely entertaining speakers and the 684S don't disappoint. They enjoy nothing more than having the volume cranked up to eleven. Just sit back, bask in their sonic glory. It's difficult not to get carried away wi th their enthusiastic sound, especially when spinning the colossal Dark Knight soundtrack; the B&Ws create such a tension-fIlled atmosphere that you fully expect Batman and the Toker to burst into your listening room. The soundtrack really allows the speakers to show off their awesome sense of scale and authority. These B&Ws were clearly born to entertain.
