Bowers & Wilkins 702 S3 Floorstanding Speakers
Bowers & Wilkins has just launched their redesigned, third generation 702 S3 Series of loudspeakers. Enhanced by technologies trickled down from Bowers & Wilkins reference 800 D4 Diamond Series as well as some bespoke engineering innovations, this new range looks set to be very special.
Housed in new cabinet with a curved front which not only adds to the new premium high end look and feel, the curved front also enables the speaker drivers to slightly protrude from the cabinet, this ensures minimal interference from sound reflecting off the cabinet, the result minimises distortion and a more open soundstage. Also changed from the previous model is the position of the bass port, the 702 S3 is now ported at the bottom which will make positioning easier within the room. On the back the speaker connections have also been upgraded, now similar to those used on the 800 D4 Diamond series.
The new Bowers & Wilkins 702 S3 Floorstanding Speakers use a Carbon Dome tweeter housed in a new Solid Body Tweeter housing, its new down firing port configuration three new Aerofoil Profile bass cones, it delivers deep accurate bass.
Goosebumps guaranteed
The flagship 702 S3, is a state-of-the-art floor-standing.
A house for high frequencies
The 700 Series features the latest generation of the iconic Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing. Its new, more elongated form incorporates a longer tube-loading system to produce an even more free and open sound with high frequencies. The carefully decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminium to better resist resonance.
Sharper detail
Carbon Dome tweeters are purpose-built for the 700 Series. Delivering a dramatic improvement on the aluminium double dome tweeter, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail.
Truly amazing sound
Thanks to its composite construction, the Continuum™ cone avoids the abrupt transitions in behaviour that can impair the performance of a conventional drive unit. The result is a more open, neutral performance that delivers voices and instruments with precision and transparency.
Clean and clear
Every three-way loudspeaker in the new 700 Series has a dedicated midrange cone using four key Bowers & Wilkins technologies: the Continuum cone, FST™, Biomimetic Suspension and midrange decoupling, the latter ensuring minimal interference from the operation of the loudspeaker’s bass drivers.
A triumph of science
Developed using advanced computer modelling techniques, the Aerofoil™ Profile bass cone has variable thickness, providing stiffness and rigidity where it’s needed most. The result: deep and dynamic bass.
