No-Compromise Design Takes Multi-Channel Sound to the Flagship Level
The Bowers & Wilkins HTM71 S3 Signature is a first-of-its-kind 700 Series Signature center channel speaker, bringing even more clarity and detail to your favorite movies and music.
HTM71 S3 Signature features optimized technologies, such as Bowers & Wilkins' proprietary decoupled Continuum midrange drive unit and Tweeter-on-Top.
Additionally, the HTM71 S3 Signature employs a series of carefully engineered audio upgrades designed to deliver a significant step up in performance from a model that already delivered exemplary sound. It boasts upgraded bass motor systems, improved capacitors, revised speaker terminals, and a more open tweeter grille mesh, as developed for the company's 800 Series Signature loudspeakers.
Award-Winning Performance
The Expert Sound and Imaging Association (EISA) gave the 700 Signature Series its Best Product 2024-2025 Award in the Loudspeaker Series category.
"Bowers & Wilkins’ 700 S3 series receives a Signature upgrade, resulting in high-performance loudspeakers to entice both hi-fi and home theatre enthusiasts," EISA observes.
"Joining these carefully considered upgrades are gorgeous Datuk Gloss and Midnight Blue Metallic finishes, so that the 700 S3 Signature speakers look as good as they sound: lively and dynamic, with effortless imaging and fine-touch detail. For stereo music or 5.1 movies, this series delivers!"
No-Compromise Performance
If you're putting together a no-compromise multi-channel system for movies, music, and more, the HTM71 S3 Signature offers flagship vocal performance, ensuring perfect integration with similarly equipped 700 Series Signature models in a surround sound system. Needless to say, these speakers are impeccable for hi-fi enjoyment as well.
Bowers & Wilkins topline center-channel speaker boasts a Carbon Dome drive unit housed in a Tweeter-On-Top enclosure, a 5" Continuum Cone FST™ midrange driver – particularly important for clarity with dialog – and twin 5" Aerofoil™ Profile bass cones.
Precision Crafted by Inventors, Pioneers, and Innovators
Bowers and Wilkins' design team consist of inventors, pioneers, and innovators, continuously developing technologies and products that raise the bar for audio excellence. These engineers crafted the 700 Series Signature models with the same care and precision that all its category-defining audio systems are renowned for. The results, however, are unique.
Building on the foundations of the company's most advanced technologies, the engineers carefully optimize the 700 Series Signature models to reflect the latest developments in audio excellence. The small details can make the biggest difference – and these are the ones Bowers & Wilkins fine-tunes with the closest attention.
Dazzling Exclusive Finishes
In addition to providing a no-compromise approach to sound quality, Bowers & Wilkins went all out with the rich appearance of the HTM71 S3 Signature center channel speaker. It is available in either a lustrous Midnight Blue Metallic paint or Datuk Gloss veneer, with multiple coats of paint or lacquer to deliver a supremely rich and desirable finish. Metal component parts, such as the tweeter body, are finished in Satin Black.
The drive unit pods and tweeter grilles are trimmed with a gold color diamond cut trim bezel. The tweeter grilles adopt the same advanced design and hole pattern found on the recently introduced 801 and 805 D4 Signature models for that added touch of excellence.
Each speaker features a Signature logo above its speaker terminal plate designed to highlight its exclusivity.
