Weve done it from day one. When John
Bowers set up the company in 1966,
experimentation in sound and recording was
escalating rapidly. It was the time of Sergeant
Pepper, Pet Sounds and Like A Rolling Stone.
Bowers had a pioneering spirit to match. His
ambition was revolutionary for the day, and
remains so: to create a loudspeaker that neither
adds nor takes away from the music. In effect,
the perfect loudspeaker. Weve been exploring
the world of sound ever since. Well never
settle for less than perfection, so well never
stop improving our speakers. Once you have
a passion for sound, you never lose it.
When our founder John Bowers said this
in 1966, he set in motion 40 years of
groundbreaking research, development and
technological innovation with one simple goal
in mind: to create the perfect loudspeaker. In leading recording studios around the
world, music that will soon be heard everywhere
is heard first through B&W speakers. At George
Lucas Skywalker Sound studios in Marin County,
California, music is put to hit movies on the
ultimate surround sound system, featuring B&W
800 Series monitors. And at Abbey Road, the
worlds most famous recording facility, all three
main studios employ B&W speakers to capture
the output of artists as diverse as Coldplay, U2,
Michael Nyman, Groove Armada and The Thrills.
When the worlds most demanding users tell us
what they think of our sound, we listen closely.
The best loudspeaker isnt the one that gives the most,
its the one that loses the least.
