Bowers and Wilkins VM-6 Brochure

VM6

There are two ways you can look at B&W’s new VM6 speaker (and

we don’t just mean vertically and horizontally). The rst is to see it
as a high quality speaker that’s been designed specically to partner
the new generation of at-panel televisions. The other way is to
think of it as a speaker that at-panel TVs nally deserve to line up

alongside.

It’s taken a while but the picture quality of the best LCD and plasma
screens has only recently come close to matching the quality of
sound from B&W speakers. The VM6 delivers cinema sound so crisp
and lifelike, you’ll feel like you’re in the midst of the action. Even as
a pair in a stereo music arrangement, VM6s bring music to life so
vividly that, just by closing your eyes, you’ll feel part of the band or
orchestra.

music.
