This then goes into peaking and some resonances around 1 to 1.7 kHz and again around 200 to 400 Hz. Bass and mid-range level is around 83 dB which is very low efficiency. Thankfully the company is honest and rates the speaker at 84 dB efficiency. You better have lots of amplification power to drive this speaker.
Compared to all the other speakers I've heard in my Connecticut room and system, the Bowers & Wilkins 683 S2s scored well. The Monitor Audio Silver 8 came closest in performance and price, at only $2000/pair. But while both speakers offer excellent bass quality, the B&W offers more of it.
TechRadar Verdict. Ignore its claim to ‘true’ stereo sound and the latest Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin is the best yet, offering a balanced, detailed sound, an array of wireless streaming options
B&W 685 review: design. It's not just the 685s' performance that has proved enduring. The square-edged, vinyl-wrapped cabinets are livened no end by a combination of soft-touch paint on the baffle, a shiny, asymmetrical tweeter arrangement and bright yellow Kevlar mid/bass driver.

(Image credit: Bowers & Wilkins) Verdict. The extroverted original was one of the stand-out wireless speakers of the noughties, and the newest Zeppelin still offers the kind of expansive sound that we can appreciate, with a zealous bass injection that stays grippy even at high volumes.
High Frequency: 2 domed units of anodised aluminium 50mm and 25mm in diameter. Mid-range/high frequency: 100mm flat-fronted unit. Bass: A 9.5kg (21lbs) magnet with a 100mm (4in) voice coil acts as the massive motor of the 300mm (12in) bass unit. Next 10.
