    **NEWS** Bowers & Wilkins announces Formation Suite wireless system

    Bowers & Wilkins Formation Suite


    Featuring support for 24-bit high resolution audio up to 96kHz plus Bluetooth and AirPlay 2, the Formation Suite of audio products from Bowers and Wilkins promises high end, multi-room audio with eye catching design.

    Our wireless loudspeakers deliver all the sound quality, craftsmanship and innovation for which we are justifiably famous — with the added convenience of wireless streaming.


    The first major product release from B&W since they were bought by EVA Automation in 2016 is aimed at the whole-home music arena that the likes of Sonos have been so successful at. Hoping to stand out from the crowd, B&W are bringing Hi-Res audio and a new contemporary look.

    The range currently consisting of 5 products though Greg Lee, CEO of Bowers & Wilkins, has hinted that other products could be added in future. For the moment though, the suite features:

    The Formation Duo - a pair of powered bookshelf speakers
    The Formation Wedge - a single, powered speaker
    The Formation Bar soundbar
    The Formation Bass subwoofer
    The Formation Audio - a hub for connecting legacy devices to the wireless network.

    Looking good!

    All in all I think it looks nice but will be entirely dependent on the app I think. I wonder why they didn't add 192 support?

    Also not keen on the brushed plate over the drivers on the standmounts.
