The Bowers and Wilkins 685 S2 bookshelf speakers offer excellent sound quality in an attractive, stand-mountable package. Their versatile sound can handle both music and movies well. The redesigned tweeter offers better insight into recordings without becoming harsh, and the new tweeter cover is a godsend for parents.
While the appearance of the B&W 685 Series 2 is very similar to the original 685 , there have been a couple of tweaks. The most obvious change is to the tweeter which is missing the striking silver nameplate and now features a metal grille.
But the new tweeter isn't simply cosmetic. The company completely redesigned its iconic tube-loaded tweeter to incorporate trickle-down technologies from its CM10 speaker. The tweeter features a thin aluminum dome surrounded by a thicker aluminum ring, and it is decoupled from the main cabinet by a layer of gel. B&W claims the result is enhanced treble clarity compared with that of the previous version.
The other, less-noticeable change is that the bullet-shaped dust cap has been replaced by a mushroom-shaped Anti-Resonance Plug borrowed from the PM1. Other than that, the stand-mount speaker retains the same 6.5-inch woofer and almost identical dimensions at 13.5 inches high by 7.5 inches wide and 12.8 inches deep.
The Bottom Line Whether you listen to death metal or nature documentaries, the Bowers and Wilkins B&W 685 S2s are an astoundingly good set of speakers and an excellent deal at this price level.
As you can see in the pics, the Speakers were barely used and look like new, even the grille is in perfect shape as it was never used. Comes from a non smoke environment ad the speakers were barely used, 6 months tops, as I bought a B & W Nautilus 805 for me.
