Ever since the company was founded by John Bowers in 1966, innovative acoustic engineering has been the hallmark of its products. Bowers & Wilkins' technological advances have resulted in rave reviews and the company's products are sought after by recording professionals and music lovers alike.

Bowers & Wilkins has always enjoyed a close relationship with recording engineers who provided vital feedback on how loudspeakers could be improved.
