MAGAZINEUp to now, B&W's "Formation" system only supported the Spotify streaming service. Soon the Lossless services Tidal, Deezer and Qobuz will be added. All content will then be combined and linked in the app, allowing listeners to search titles, albums, playlists and radio stations across multiple services, including their personal libraries and collections. The Formation series consists of the "Duo", "Wedge" and "Flex" compact loudspeakers, a subwoofer, a soundbar and a hub for integrating a classic system into the system. Unit prices range from 700 Euro (hub) to 2000 Euro for the Duo.
