Bowers & Wilkins 700 Series - 706 S3 - Pair of standmount speakers

B&W 706 S3
Thanks to the decoupled carbon dome tweeter and carefully updated crossover, the 706 S3 delivers exceptional detail and insight into the music, while the substantial 165mm continuous cone woofer/midrange driver offers wide scale and extension for use in larger spaces.

Full-size acoustics
The powerful 706 S3 is the ideal standmount speaker for delivering great sound in large spaces.

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.

Inspired by greatness
The new curved cabinet front and split-chamber drivers significantly reduce cabinet coloration, resulting in cleaner, more immersive sound.

Price per couple.

Optional stand excluded.
