Bowers & Wilkins Formation series heralds the company’s new high-end multi-room music solution. Utilising new wireless tech, the four-strong suite of speakers plus hi-fi adapter is designed to suit different applications around the home.

The £3,500 Duo is the most traditional-looking speaker in the series, and adopts the same 25mm carbon dome tweeter-on-top technology and 165mm mid/bass Continuum cone drive unit found in the company’s passive speaker lineup. Matching support stands are available, costing £700.

The £900 Wedge is the most distinctive speaker design in the range, with a 120° elliptical shape that offers full-range stereo from a single chassis unit. The £1,000 Bar sports nine drive units for a wide stereo soundstage and a dedicated centre channel for TV sound use, while the barrel-shaped £900 Bass employs opposed 165mm long-throw drivers powered by a 250W Class D amplifier. Lastly, the £600 Audio component synchronises traditional hi-fi components with other Formation models located around the home. You can find out more here.
