High definition 5.1 surround sound is provided by a Marantz SR6008 AV receiver and B&W M1 speakers with a REL 528 subwoofer.

Bowers & Wilkins factory visit, Worthing, UK

We were recently given the very special opportunity to travel to the Bowers & Wilkins headquarters in Worthing for some product training and a tour of the factory. Every room of the tour reflected a common atmosphere that made us feel warm and welcome, even in some of the more clinical (and highly impressive) laboratory testing rooms of the factory.
