Hi great informative video, the 606 in the oak I think looked a lot better , I do like the evo 4.2, but when I see 606s2 anniversary at £349 you can’t really beat that considering was £699. Regards mark
Great review on the B&Ws Terry and they sounded very impressive for the money, but I think I'd go for the Evo 4.2s for both sound and looks. It seems that the more affordable speakers are getting better and better with the latest technologies and are snapping at the heals of more prestigious models and that's a very good thing for us who can't afford the high end stuff.
Hi Terry! I am a huge fan of both of these brands. I have been taking a serious look at both of these particular speakers. Thanks for the detailed comparison, I always appreciated your hard work. Have a great day man!
Best hifi reviews on youtube. Not targeted for teens, not for audiophile maniacs, not for hipsters or "wannabe audiophiles" Keep it that way my friend.
Thanks man, I do class myself as a bit of sound maniac with a few screws loose to boot but hopefully its down to earth reviewing - as that is who I am :)
Hi Terry, you must have a direct connection to my brain as these are right at the top of my demo list of potential successors to my 18 year old B&W DM601S3's. Don't get me wrong, I've thoroughly enjoyed them and they are still very capable but my visit to the Bristol show earlier this year (I was sat behind you when you were filming the Evo4.4's) has whetted my appetite and left me wondering if I am missing out on 18 years worth of development by holding on to them. The main unanswered question so far is how to these speakers (both the 606 & Evo 4.2) deal with more guitar based music, bands like Metallica, Foo Fighters, Dream Theater, Meshuggah? While I listen to a lot of 80's pop and retro inspired synthwave music, rock and metal forms a big part of my musical diet. Would be great if you could include this in your testing. Thanks and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the other speakers in the test, especially the Focal and Fyne Audio models.
I recently swapped my 601S3's for Klipsch RP600. I listened to the 606's but they're a little shrieky for me. The Klipsch are just way more fun, and it was time for something different:) The 601S3's really show their age compared to almost any new speaker in the 500-600 Euro/Pound range. I'm saving up for Sonus-Fabers...
Hi, great test and video. I wanted to mention again the LS50s because they are now sold for less then 700 euros in German stores. I got mine for 660. In fact almost no one is selling them for their original price tag of 1100+ euros. I adore my LS50s but the question that nags me now is where do I need to go to improve on them. If I need to spend over 1500 that makes them automatically the current market killer in their existing price point.
No Secret far from it, the opposite in fact my room is an awful room that I have working with for years to make it sound better, I mean acoustically - corner loading the speakers right next to the big subs has added more boundary gain to the speakers so they hit crazy numbers at low freq - however I know that is room gain not the speakers - so I manage the bass from them down at where they run out of bass extension - that way I hear more of the speaker and less of the room if that makes sense. The last time I measured RT60 in my room it was crazy low 0.2-0.3ms low which is crazy low - no added room reverb in this room :) I have lifted the room a little since with some diffusion but I see what I think is audiophiles making the mistake of adding diffusion to an already overly reverberant room - I think some bad advice has been shared about this - imo of course and all that does it diffuse what should be a tight and focused sound image, making the sound worse not better. Music is not supposed to be diffused sounding otherwise it would sound like that through headphones as well - listen through headphones and everything is tightly tightly focused because there is no room being added to it :)
I have cdm series 1. Quality sound. Good for music. Always thought they were a little underperforming in movies. Which one would be the best for dual duty?
I owned some cdm a few years but I dont remember much about how they sounded to really comment. The newer bowers speakers are faster and more highly resolving sounding which possibly makes them better for home cinema but I cant say for sure sorry man
You should try to get your hands on a pair of Hsu Research CCB8. Reviews all call giant killer. Famous designer and owner/designer went to MIT before starting company. They are American, not sure if they sell there.
I want these speakers so bad terry , but I'm a trifle deaf in my right ear due to a build up of earwax , do you have any tips for a rapid relief treatment so I can get back to being an audiophile again ?
Sorry Lee I really dont know of anything other than ear drops which are horrible but I assume your doing that already. Hard to get in to see a doctor at the mo as well
hi, quick question... I have an onkyo tx-8220, this is enough for this speakers? Im thinking to change it with marantz pm6007... will be a huge difference? thanks in advance.
mmm... I think exactly the opposite. Remove the B&W badge from the 606s and they look like $150-200 speakers. The EVOs look like $2k speakers, they punch way over their price range.
@@net_news I must agree that badging makes a difference, & thought the 606s are kinda plain looking I think the finish of the tweeter with the silver continuum driver gives off an industrial flair with a splash of elegance. The EVOs have alot going on so to me it looks like they're trying too hard, I hate the look of the tweeter. We all have different tastes apparently. Lol
I'm the polar opposite on that, the Evo's look much more high end to me. Large AMT tweeter, a well designed soft-dome mid (criminally under used these days...), and an exotic, curved and acoustically designed cabinet. They are playing in the field of double their price range. At least.
This video is kinda deja vu to me. I really don't get what's so great about B&W speakers... I didn't try B&W uber high-end stuff because I'm too poor to afford them but I had many of their more "mundane" high-end offerings. And I had exactly the same feeling with them as watching this video: oh, they are very good... but the EVO trounces them! Take the 805 D3 for example, a supposedly amazing end of the game bookshelf 5 stars, class A champion... well, they are really good but they are not amazing at all if you compare them to almost any other $6k speaker! Nonetheless every person that listened to my 805s loved them... In fact, I sold them in heartbeat at almost the same price I bought them. Don't ask me why. I just don't get it. Kudos to B&W though.
Just auditioned the 803 with Macintosh trimmings worth $70,000 total and much, much preferred my JBL's at a price that were probably less than the speaker cables used in that system. I know its all subjective but having a system looking expensive wasn't my top priority. And the demo room was treated. I sat there in disbelief demoing music I had listened to in my system an hour prior.🤯🤯🙄🤔🤪 I suppose I'm a compression driver/Horn kind of guy!😝😬
Terry, excellent review of the 606, and even better your demo was 'impeccable'. Nonetheless, a demo of the EVO 4.2 in action would be fantastic. This way we could all attest to your conclusion that the Wharfedale Evo 4.2 is the better choice. Thanks Terry. You sir, are the premier audio reviewer on the TH-cam platform.
Thanks Andrew, I am working hard to make it a job, I work more days a week and hours a day than I have in my whole life, it takes a lot to do all this as a solo person
I finally bought the B&W 606, upgrading from my B&W DM602s! I got them for a steal, £379 brand new as they were reduced in price due to the anniversary addition, also grabbed the centre speaker (HTM6) for £255, can't wait until they arrive, your mega test really helped and the price sealed the deal!
I've had my B&W 606s for about five weeks now affixed to appropriate B&W dual stanchion stands filled with lead/zinc pellets to prevent any spurious ringing. Coupled with a REL T-5 sub, the system sounds quite amazing, far better than numerous good quality floor-standing types I've previously owned. I find that it really is crucial to adjust the tone controls somewhat and have done during the weeks I've owned them, but now l feel that I've found a good average that satisfies my listening needs. I'm a musician, playing both bass guitar and bass trombone, so my addition of the REL could be expected but I've adjusted all the levels so that it produces subtle warmth and depth in the low mid and bass frequencies, but in no way over the top flappy bass. Across a wide range of musical genres, the B&Ws and sub produce distinctive across frequency separation with all instruments and vocals easily pronounced. Collectively, my speakers were £1100 and l consider that to be money well spent.....
Thank you for the great review and I have watched 3 times... as I am interested in both speakers. Particularly want to thank you for your painstaking effort on specifying the objective attributes of both speakers and their merits, while admirably did not avoid giving your personal taste preference... Again, thanks a lot
what a review , more energetic more expressive, but that key word terry, more free of the cabinet, sold me on the warfdales , thats the sound i love. also i had the B&w 602's years ago, still do in my loft , punchy as hell for such a small speaker, but , not for overly long listening periods.
Many thanks for your reviews. I find them very well done and useful. I am looking forward to watch at all others videos before buying new speakers 😉. It would be interesting to me to hear your thought regarding elac dbr-62 and triangle borea br03 as well 😁. Hopefully one day you can review them as well
I’m not surprised you needed Dirac to control that top end! I listened to a couple of the higher range 700 series including the top 702 S2; edgy bordering on harsh with their treble response.
I used it more to balance the bass than take off the top end, I like the top end, but you need a good amount of bass with it to balance and nice acoustics helps and the right kit
Pursuit Perfect System I see, so the added bass makes for a relative flattening to the overall sound. I know I found the 700 series too much, but not heard the 600’s. Also, I know the LS50 are over budget for the test, but would interesting to see you do them as a bonus at the end (yeah I know you’re already doing a huge amount of work for the series as it is!! :) ). I’ve not heard LS50’s - but I am a fan in general of KEF.
@@Mingchops I did think about adding my ls50 in but that wouldn't then be fair to the other manufacturers whom I put the 650 limit on. Adding more bass softens a harder treble due to the perception of the ovrtall sound hence why adding subs can help mid range and treble :)
Pursuit Perfect System I think you’d be surprised. I loved my LS50s but I’ve just bought the Evo 4.2 and the Wharfedales trounce them in every respect! 👍
I had the 606 and now the 606 aniversary . I think what hi fi review is spot on for these . More Detail brought forward , vocals are amazing and the bass is tighter and controled . I liked the original and the s2 are just wow . I had to upgrade my speaker cable to get the best from them . I now bi wire with very high purity copper cables and the sound has changed to something very natural and solid .
I'm so happy to watched this video because for the last 3 weeks I was contemplating of which to buy between 606 and EVO 4.2. Now that I am 62 years and my music genre is mostly the 70's 80's 90's and I love to listen to Orchestra and Classical. Obviously my choice is WHARFEDALE 4.2. But if I am much younger now, I will choose the B&W 606. Thanks for a very nice and informative review. BUT I MISS THE RAISINS DIAGRAM :D God Bless
Jesus christ those 4 subwoofers. 12:25 That's incredible. Can you even listen at low volume with such a setup? I'd imagine it doesn't even move the cone?
sorry for my english...very very good video, i want to ask you, my music is classic rock and hard rock. what i soyld by ?...evo 4.2 with a sub or 606 with sub ? thank yoy very much
B&w look better, but I think the wharfedales could be the better speaker, especially for longer sessions, had some 10.1s a while ago, they were pretty good,, also had some b&w cdm1 SE, standmounts, they were outstanding,, Wharfdale seem to have really upped there game latley,, they could be THE ones beat.
@@cw1967 It's my first proper speakers and I only have my friends systems as a reference, but have no regrets - everyone that comes over also likes their sound. I paired them up with Cambridge audio AXR85 and have had no issues at all. Going down the rabbit hole of getting an external DAC to see whether there will be a noticable improvement in sound.
Thanks you very much for you very good and detailed review. I will watch all your next video before to decide to upgrade my system 😉👍 Thanks a lot !!!!
I've watch many of sound test videos and researched speakers over the years. This guy, (Terry Ellis) is one of the best with his presentation and information provided. Excellent job. Got allot of good out of this. Thanks.

One Quick thing I have to remember to call these speakers Stand Mount and not Bookshelves - sorry very stuck in my ways in that regard
I grew up only knowing that size as 'Bookshelves', 'Stand Mount' is new to me too.

Quality content terry. You deserve more subs mate
Cheers Man, it will happen :)
I am using evo 4.2 with chord tt2+ m scaler and benchmark ahb2 amp. Both tt2 and ahb2 in low gain mode. The combo is end game set up.
Hey Terry, how do these compare to the new 606s3's??

The LS50 is above the cut off for this test its not what I was looking to include for purposes of what I am trying to focus on affordable speakers
....I am realy enjoing you way of presentation :), thx for the review
For me B and W with rega is brilliant.
Thanks for your review. How this 606 compare to Elac ubr62?
You have an amazing in-room bass response! is there a secret we don't know about?

Great that you make these comparisons. In the future make also a comparison in the floorstanding category.
That would be interesting to do but the logistics of it is much harder than the idea in principle, but yes I likely will at some point :)

Love your channel dude, what’s the stands in this video?
Atacama apollo cyclone 6 thanks very much mate
"Silky and "Sultry". can also sound boring to some. I'm pretty over the rolled off voicing. Not my cup of Earl Grey anymore.
Thanks for the great review. My take away is that this is the party or home theatre speaker, not a relax and chill type.
I prefer the conservative and sophisticated look of the B&Ws!
Love the reality of the 606's,they really do bring everything out of a track.
LOVE THIS whole series you are doing! Learning so much.
This requires a subwoofer?
what about the new se version
Been a while
Are these the original 606 or the Anniversary Edition 606 S2?
Original
picked up B&W 606 at £329 on Black Friday, ridiculously good for the money
How you getting on with them out of interest? I've just ordered some. Thanks
@@cw1967 It's my first proper speakers and I only have my friends systems as a reference, but have no regrets - everyone that comes over also likes their sound. I paired them up with Cambridge audio AXR85 and have had no issues at all. Going down the rabbit hole of getting an external DAC to see whether there will be a noticable improvement in sound.
Thanks you very much for you very good and detailed review.
I will watch all your next video before to decide to upgrade my system 😉👍
Thanks a lot !!!!
Looks wise: Wharfdale
I've watch many of sound test videos and researched speakers over the years. This guy, (Terry Ellis) is one of the best with his presentation and information provided. Excellent job. Got allot of good out of this. Thanks.
