The 706 S3 is an outstanding standmount loudspeaker for use in larger spaces.
Thanks to its decoupled Carbon Dome tweeter and carefully upgraded crossover, it provides exceptional detail and insight into your music, while its substantial 165mm (6.5in) Continuum Cone bass/midrange drive unit provides ample scale and extension.
FS-700 S3 floor stands sold separately.
Studio Sound Comes Home
The new Bowers & Wilkins 700 Series is defined by elegance and driven by best-in-class performance. Every model in our most extensive range is inspired by the recording studio and enabled by cutting-edge technologies first developed for our flagship 800 Series Diamond.
The 700 Series contains eight models: there’s a speaker to suit every home and every requirement, whether your passion is high-performance stereo, immersive home cinema or a mix of both.
Carbon Dome tweeters
Carbon Dome tweeters are purpose-built for the 700 Series. Delivering a dramatic improvement on the aluminium double dome tweeter, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail.
Continuum cone
Thanks to its composite construction, the Continuum cone avoids the abrupt transitions in behaviour that can impair the performance of a conventional drive unit. The result is a more open, neutral performance that delivers voices and instruments with precision and transparency.
Curved Baffle
The new 700 Series features a curved front baffle for the first time. This allows the midrange and bass drivers to be located in individual pod-type housings that sit proud of the speaker baffle. When combined with the curvature of the structure, this new approach – derived from the 800 Series Diamond – reduces the audible impact of the cabinet, creating a cleaner, more open and more immersive sound.
