Product details

With the Bowers & Wilkins Formation Wedge, you experience the natural and room-filling sound quality of Bowers & Wilkins, combined with a functional and beautiful design that delights both the eyes and ears. The unique 120-degree shape of the elliptical speakers was chosen for sound quality. It provides a wide stereo effect with balanced highs, mids, and bass, supported by specially angled drivers that fill the entire room. Stream in 24-bit/96 kHz quality and easily connect with other Formation speakers to enjoy a complete high-fidelity multi-room setup. The Formation Wedge, as part of the Formation Suite, is another example of how Bowers & Wilkins defines the highest form of sound.

Die Lücken in der Ausstattung des Formation Wedge sind im Vergleich zu Konkurrenten etwa von Sonos, Teufel oder Yamaha riesengroß. Im Gegenzug punkten die Briten mit unkomplizierter Handhabung. Aber vor allem klingt die Streaming-Box unvergleichlich gut.

Mit dem Formation Wedge bringt Bower & Wilkins einen echten Hingucker in Ihr Wohnzimmer – und nicht nur die Optik ist exklusiv: auch der Sound des Multiroom-Speakers kann sich hören lassen, und begeistert uns im Test. Das ganze Sound- und Optik-Paket hat allerdings seinen Preis: 999 Euro verlangt die Audio-Manufaktur für den WLAN-Lautsprecher.
