![]() The 607 52 is a conventional reflex loaded enclosure with port at rear, measurement showing it is tuned to 50Hz, a popular choice of frequency in small enclosures since this coincides with the low bass region where such a loudspeaker can work and remain efficient, but also cover the lowest notes of most musical instruments (40Hz).

B&W recommend 30W-I00W amplifiers but you won’t get far at the lower end of the scale because sensitivity is on the low side at 84dB – as they quote and we measure. How small? It measures 165mm (6.5in) wide, 207mm (8.1 in) deep and 300mm (I l.8in) high, and with a weight of 4.7kg can be easily lifted and placed just about anywhere. I know from previous experience, most recently when reviewing the larger 603 52 in our March 21 issue, that Continuum synthetic cone material has a sheeny sonic presence and offers a strong sense of clarity, potentially making this a small ‘speaker with an up-front sound. Above this a decoupled Double Dome aluminium tweeter takes over to extend high treble all the way to 20kHz our measurements show, B&W quoting an upper limit of 33kHz – but this is for bats. It has a small 130mm (Sin) Continuum cone bass/midrange unit that does most of the work, covering a large part of the audio band, right up to 3kHz. Whilst you don’t get big bass from any small loudspeaker their potential for a fast, lithe sound with great stereo imaging is what B&W capitalise on with the 607 52. They’re worlds apart, a point I make early on to tease out the issue of small ’speaker differences. B&W’s little speaker is however very different to a Diamond, especially the latest Diamond 12.1 I reviewed in our April 2021 issue.
