Commercial Bowers & Wilkins 603 S2 Anniversary Edition Floorstanding Loudspeakers The powerful 603 S2 Anniversary Edition combines the accuracy and transparency of our acclaimed Continuum™ mid-range cone with the scale and authority of two dedicated bass drivers. Featuring upgraded crossovers for even more transparency and a unique trim-ring to celebrate its status, the 603 S2 Anniversary Edition is the most sophisticated affordable floor-standing loudspeaker we’ve ever made.A celebration of sound.The 603 S2 Anniversary Edition is the largest and most capable loudspeaker in the 600 Series Anni
The 603 S2 is a well-liked, big-sound floorstander in B&W’s 600 line, but A$7,995 is far above the used market I can benchmark for it. Typical used asking prices cluster around roughly A$370–A$2,100 per pair in the results I found, with a common pre-owned sale around A$1,980 at an Australian dealer, so this listing looks wildly ambitious unless it’s actually something much rarer or bundled with major extras.
If it really is a clean 603 S2 pair, the appeal is the classic B&W mix of scale, clear midrange, and easy room-filling presentation; they’re a solid listen for rock, vocals, and home-theater duty, and the line has generally held decent resale. But at this price, I’d want confirmation of the exact variant, whether it’s a pair, and whether there are special inclusions like original boxes, stands, or pristine original-owner provenance; otherwise, this is one to pass on quickly.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bowers & Wilkins traces its origins to 1966 in Worthing, West Sussex, England, when John Bowers, a passionate audio enthusiast and former electronics shop owner, founded the company with the help of a £10,000 bequest from a satisfied customer, Miss Knight. Bowers, who had honed his speaker-building skills as a hobby while running a radio and TV rental shop with partner Roy Wilkins, launched the venture from the back of that very shop. This modest beginning fueled a relentless pursuit of audio perfection, establishing Bowers & Wilkins as a British icon in high-fidelity sound reproduction.
The brand excels in premium loudspeakers, from flagship studio monitors like the legendary 801 series—adopted by Abbey Road Studios in 1979—to accessible Domestic Monitor lines such as the enduring 600 Series. Its portfolio has expanded to encompass high-end headphones, including the iconic P5 and Zeppelin designs, alongside wireless speakers and formation systems, all emphasizing advanced driver technology, precision cabinetry, and Continuum cones for unparalleled clarity.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Bowers & Wilkins commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its engineering excellence, musical accuracy, and heritage of innovation. Far from mid-tier or niche, it rivals the elite, blending cutting-edge research from facilities like Steyning with a reputation for reference-grade performance that defines luxury hi-fi.
