AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful and very well sounding set of speakers from Bowers & Wilkins

Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) is one of the biggest names in the hi-fi world, and that is not without reason. Since the company began producing audio equipment in 1966, it has produced a steady stream of fantastic products.

This much-praised 685 as well

The 685 is a compact quality loudspeaker with an impressive open and three-dimensional soundstage. It is the perfect solution for a compact stereo or home cinema system with truly good sound. The 685 S2 can stand on a cabinet or be wall-mounted, but it really comes into its own on a good stand

Matching pair with consecutive serial numbers 0146907 and 0146908

Enclosures in very good condition with only minimal signs of use

Removable front baffles also in very good condition, with no broken mounting lugs

The speakers produce a nice deep sound, without boomy output, and a beautiful, crystal-clear midrange and highs

Dimensions (H x W x D): 19.0 x 34.5 x 32.4 cm

Please view the detailed photos; these are part of the item description

The speakers are packaged with the utmost care and insured shipping with track & trace in two separate parcels. Hence the slightly higher shipping costs
