Difficult to tell SQ differences in a compressed video on YT. I have had the Quad S2 in my system and while it was highly resolving and transparent, it lacked to convey the emotion I need in music. Its stage depth was very flat which probably added ot the lack of what I would call musicality. Kind of lifeless vs other speakers I had such as Focal and Triangle. It was however alot of fun with movie soundtracks giving all the back ground info and dialog being crystal clear. YT cannot adequately display these sonic differences. Can't say how the 606 would sound in comparison but I am used to a brighter sounding speaker so I would guess it would more suit my taste at least for music in comparison to the s2. However, it is known that B&W has a frequency dip in the midrange so the S2 may be preferred for movies. Personally, I would give up a bit of resolution if my music sounded more natural and like music should. Didn't like the previous Kevlar drivers but don't know about the new ones. Typically I like some variation of paper for textures in various instruments and voice, however the frequency curve dips and rises. While neutrality is the aim, slightly warmer or cooler is a great deviation but transparency, timbre, stage dimensionality and the ability to maintain separation without everything bleeding into a wall of sound is important.
I think these recordings are not level matched, giving the impression that the B&W sound better. The Quads are more balanced, while the 606s are too in your face, but the mids are really subdued, aggresive V-shaped sound signature.
Beide spielen sehr gut. Für mich die Quad etwas besser. Toll Vergleich. Danke aus Griechenland

B&W 606 S2 Anniversary👍
QUAD S-2 победитель, играют открытие и детальнее
I have tried both and the quad are 10 times better
Quad klingt sehr sauber, Natur und mehr Details....
Quad wins
B&W 606 wins for me
In b&w higher frequency slightly lesser and less warmer
Что за манера ставить только лёгкую музыку? Где низы, где тяжи, металл рок?
If you want to hear differences in speakers you have to good to a GOOD hifi store. And a couple of times.
Quad splashing the soud 😀
606’s have a fuller sound.
B&W sounds more alive
Сетап правильно составьте: quad + denon =👍 и тогда Бивни курят бамбук😂
B&W too bright for my ears

Хреновый тест....
Бивни 👍
