Reviews on Bowers & Wilkins ASW608

Evaluation 4
Advantages: Various connection options and separate adjustment of their levels, many (for subwoofer) settings. Simpatichny appearance, high-quality finish. Small size, not comparable with the depth of the bass issued by this baby. Thorns and rubber feet included. Qualitatively damped level and frequency cut-off knobs turn nicely and smoothly. I can’t say anything about the sound quality yet. until warmed up and nothing to talk about ...
Disadvantages: Made Ying Chayn ... the back wall jingled slightly at high volume, I had to tighten all the bolts with a screwdriver, after which the rattle disappeared. It seemed to me that the screw terminals of the high-level input are somewhat flimsy, but if you do not reconnect 100 thousand times, then it does not matter. The absence of a control panel is a big minus. Very very bright power LED, reflected from the wall, illuminates half the rooms :)))
Comment: I took it in addition to the shelves of B @ W 805 to a room of 22 m2 ... After 12 "saba sunfire, the sound seemed somehow mumbling or something that was somewhat pressing on the ears ... most likely it is because it is not really tuned and the sub is still warm, well, plus is not yet used to it ..

UPD ... sub flared up, warmed up ... and ... well, very well added shelves ...

Advantages: 1. Small dimensions. 2. Deep, rich bass, adjustable in frequency and power. 3. Automatic on / off.
Disadvantages: Clearly lacking remote control. Appearance would greatly benefit from finishing, say, polished wood.
Comment: Use with a pair of Wharfedale Evo 2.10. Guests are surprised by the transparency and depth of these small speakers. The subwoofer is almost imperceptible. I recommend a similar set of acoustics and in terms of cost savings. For example, the acoustics of Monitor Audio Silver RX8 at the price of 60 thousand, which I recently parted with, cannot compete with my set.

Advantages: 1) Dynamic, deep bass (for rooms up to 20 sq.m)
2) A large number of connection options and settings, including setting the cut-off frequency, sound level, automatic on / off.
Disadvantages: 1) Price. The real should not exceed 15 000 rubles.
2) No remote control
3) Not available in cherry color.
Comment: I bought it as an addition to the B & W 705 bookshelf for use in a home theater, but it turned out that it perfectly complements the stereo pair.
