Marantz CINEMA 70s Series 2 + Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 + ASW608 – 2.1 Cinema That Still Plays Music

A slim-line receiver, a pair of real hi-fi standmounts and a compact subwoofer: the 2.1 layout that suits most living rooms better than a bag of satellites. The Marantz CINEMA 70s Series 2 handles 8K video, Dolby Atmos decoding and HEOS streaming from a low-profile chassis, the Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 does front-stage duty for films and stereo alike, and the ASW608 fills in below 40 Hz without taking over the room. Add centre and surrounds later – the receiver has the channels waiting.

In This Setup

• Marantz CINEMA 70s Series 2 – 7.2-channel slim AV receiver, 50 W per channel, 32-bit 8-channel DAC, Dolby Atmos / DTS:X, Dirac Live Ready, HEOS. Black or Silver Gold.
• Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 (pair) – 600 Series standmounts with Titanium Dome tweeter and 6.5-inch Continuum cone. Black, Oak or White.
• Bowers & Wilkins ASW608 – compact sealed subwoofer, long-throw 8-inch driver, 200 W Class D. Black.

Why This Combination

• Two-channel first: the 606 S3 is a music speaker, so the same system that runs the film sounds right with a record on Sunday.
• Room correction included: Dirac Live Ready on the receiver integrates the ASW608 with the standmounts.
• Upgrade path built in: five spare amplifier channels for a centre, surrounds or height speakers from the same 600 Series.

Set price includes all three products; speaker and subwoofer cables are sold separately.
