Bowers & Wilkins 700 Series - 705 S3 - Pair of standmount speakers
B&W 705 S3
The 705 S3’s carbon dome tweeter is housed in a Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top enclosure evolved from the latest generation 800 Series Diamond. This is joined by a new subtly curved baffle, featuring an all-new ‘capsule’ enclosure for the Continuum cone woofer/midrange driver.
It is an uncompromising two-way speaker that reveals the subtle nuances of music that others miss. Its features include the Tweeter-on-Top borrowed from the 800 Series Diamond.
A home for high frequencies
The 700 Series adopts the latest generation of the Tweeter-on-Top Solid Body. The more elongated shape incorporates a new tweeter loading system that produces an even freer and more open sound at high frequencies. The carefully decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminum to better resist resonances.
Sharper details
Carbon dome tweeters have been specially developed for the 700 Series. They offer a marked improvement over aluminium double domes, raising break-up to 47kHz for precise, detailed imaging.
A truly amazing sound
Thanks to its composite structure, the Continuum™ cone avoids the abrupt behavior transitions that can compromise the performance of a conventional speaker. The result is a more open and neutral sound, which delivers vocals and instruments with precision and transparency.
Price per couple.
Optional stand excluded.
