BOWERS & WILKINS HTM62 S2

Pre owned. In good condition. Shows some signs of wear, especially on the grille. Does not include original packaging.

The Bowers & Wilkins HTM62 S2 serves as the central hub of any home theatre system, designed to deliver power and precision even in small to medium-sized rooms. Despite being more compact than the HTM61 S2 model, it retains the ability to produce clear and detailed sound, making it perfect for dialogue in movies and TV series.

At the heart of its design is the new Decoupled Double Dome tweeter, engineered to provide crystal-clear clarity. The decoupled structure, which isolates the tweeter from the main cabinet, eliminates unwanted resonances and vibrations, ensuring faithful reproduction of vocal details. Two 5-inch Kevlar-coned drivers complete the soundstage, balancing punch and precision for a dynamic and convincing performance.

The HTM62 S2 is also versatile in placement: it can be positioned vertically or horizontally, adapting easily to any environment without requiring excessive space. Its combination of compact design and high-quality sound performance makes it ideal for pairing with main speakers such as the 684 floorstanders or 685 bookshelf units, creating a balanced and immersive front configuration.

The symmetrical structure and the two side drivers frame the central tweeter, providing enough sonic presence to support and complement the main speakers in the room. The result is a centre speaker that not only accompanies the front channels but amplifies their impact, making every dialogue clear and every sound effect more realistic.

Bowers & Wilkins, the renowned British high-fidelity brand, brings the experience of their reference-level systems directly into the home with the HTM62 S2, combining innovation, material quality, and acoustic precision.
