Bowers and Wilkins' brand of hi-fi exposeSINGAPORE--Catch UK Bowers and Wilkins' (B&W) fine collection of hi-fi under one roof for the first time here in Southeast Asia. Showcasing its audiophile-grade loudspeakers in conjunction with high-end Classé and Arcam audio equipment, the lifestyle boutique store is laid out in three themed demo rooms. These include the essential oil-scented Sense Room serving complimentary floral tea and the SensEntertain Hall complete with a pool table and private Walk of Fame.
The Sense Room Duo, on the other hand, features the value-for-money CM7-series towers. What we have here is a musical-sounding speaker assembled using building blocks filtered down from its higher-end siblings. Completing the ensemble is an Arcam Solo Movie 5.1, a 1080i-upscaling DVD receiver featuring DAB digital radio, HDMI and a beefy toroidal power transformer. Lastly, there is the cozy SensEntertain Hall furnished with the discreet CCM616 ceiling speaker. These have a space-saving coaxial design--a tweeter integrated on top of the woofer--and are meant for piping music to the least expected locations such as the bathroom and kitchen. With this new showroom, B&W is hoping to extend its reach to an even wider spectrum of Asian users. |
