Ideal Bookshelf Speaker for Exceptional Sound in Larger Spaced
It's a top performer for music, home theater, and more. The powerful Bowers & Wilkins 706 S3 is the ideal bookshelf speaker for delivering exceptional sound in larger spaces. You'll find lots of applications for this full-frequency maestro.
The 706 S3 draws on design and technology from the Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Diamond, resulting in a bounty of upgrades. Among the beneficial changes are a narrower cabinet, a curved baffle with protruding drivers, and upgraded driver motors, chassis, and crossover.
Thanks to the 706 S3’s 1" decoupled Carbon Dome tweeter and carefully upgraded crossover, it provides superb detail and insight into your music. Its substantial 6.5" Continuum Cone bass/midrange drive unit provides ample scale and extension.
Carbon Domeâ„¢ Tweeter
Carbon Dome tweeters are a brand new technology purpose-built for the 700 Series. Delivering a dramatic improvement on the aluminum double dome tweeter, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail.
Continuumâ„¢ Cone Midrange Driver
Voices and instruments are delivered with purity and precision, thanks to the smooth, accurate Continuum™ cone midrange driver. First introduced with the 800 Series Diamond, the Continuum cone represents the biggest upgrade in midrange performance since Kevlar®. Its woven coated material provides highly controlled break-up, resulting in a more open, neutral midrange.
700 S3 Series Upgrades
Offering outstanding performance at an attainable price, the Bowers & Wilkins 700 Series gives you exceptional capability for a real-world price-tag with an easy-to-accommodate footprint.
Packaged with advanced technology, the new 700 Series S3 range includes more overt celebrations of the 700 Series' relationship to the Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Diamond. The first and most obvious change is the introduction of a new and longer tweeter-on-top form, inspired by the design introduced in 2021 for the new 800 Series Diamond.
The second notable change is the introduction of curved front sections to each speaker cabinet, with drive units mounted in distinct ‘pods’, as per 800 Series Diamond. Alongside this curvature, all new models feature slimmer front elevations than before, which reduces the cabinet baffling effect for even better sound than ever before.
The new S3 line also introduces new plinths, new grilles, a new tweeter grille mesh, and a new finish–Mocha Wood. This joins the existing finish mix of Gloss Black and White.
Studio Sound Comes Home
The 700 Series provides a class-leading combination of beautiful design and supreme performance. Featuring a wealth of state-of-the-art technologies, many derived from the 800 Series Diamond range, the 700 Series provides true Bowers & Wilkins performance in a class-leading yet accessible package.
With two center channel speakers and a subwoofer to choose from, the 700 Series also performs brilliantly in any home cinema set-up. It is a particularly strong aspect of the range’s appeal. The updated design means that the 700 S3 line looks every bit as good as it sounds. It’s the perfect combination of elegance and performance.
