Premium Center Channel Speaker for Smaller Systems
A premium choice for smaller systems, the Bowers & Wilkins HTM72 S3 is the more compact center-channel speaker in the 700 S3 series, bringing superior dialog clarity to the home theater experience. It's just the ticket for stunning multi-channel music, too! Partner the HTM72 S3 with the more compact 700 Series speakers, such as the 706 S3 or the 704 S3 for an amazing audio experience.
Packing a lot of performance into its compact cabinet, the HTM72 S3 has a 1" Decoupled Carbon Dome tweeter and a 5" Continuum™ cone FST™ bass / midrange driver.
The HTM72 S3 draws on design and technology from the Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Diamond, resulting in several upgrades. Among the beneficial changes are a flat baffle with protruding drivers, an improved speaker terminal tray, and upgraded driver motors, chassis, and crossover.
Carbon Dome™ 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.
Continuum™ 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 of the floorstanding and bookshelf speaker models, 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.
