  • Wide Frequency Response: Covers a broad range from deep bass through expressive mids to crisp highs, ideal for music and home theater playback.

  • Advanced Crossover Network: Engineered crossover ensures smooth integration between drivers for coherent and unified sound.

Driver Technology

  • Dual Bass Drivers: Two dedicated bass units provide deep, controlled low frequencies with strong dynamic impact.

  • Dedicated Midrange Driver: Focused on natural vocal reproduction and instrument detail with high resolution.

  • Continuum Cone Tweeter: Premium tweeter technology delivers smooth, extended high-frequency response with excellent transient accuracy and low distortion.

  • Decoupled Tweeter in a Nautilus™ Tube: Isolates the tweeter from cabinet energy for cleaner, more precise high frequencies.

Cabinet & Build Quality

  • Mocha Finish: Elegant mocha wood-tone cabinet that complements high-end interiors and AV systems.

  • Rigid, Resonance-Controlled Enclosure: Well-damped and robust construction minimizes vibration and coloration to preserve sonic purity.

  • Floor-Standing Design: Large, braced cabinet supports extended bass performance and wide sound dispersion.

Description

Bowers & Wilkins 703 S3 – 3 Way Floor Standing Speaker

703 S3

The new 703 S3 now features our iconic Tweeter-on-Top configuration for the first time, alongside a decoupled FST™ Continuum cone midrange driver – enhanced by the addition of our revolutionary new Biomimetic Suspension – and twin Aerofoil Profile bass drivers.

Room-filling realism

Its new Tweeter-on-Top configuration and the revolutionary Biomimetic Suspension in its decoupled midrange drive unit combine to raise the 703 S3 to all-new heights of performance.

A house for high frequencies

The 700 Series features the latest generation of our iconic Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing. Its new, more elongated form incorporates a longer tube-loading system to produce an even freer and open sound with high frequencies. The carefully decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminum to better resist resonance.

Sharper detail

Carbon Dome tweeters are 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.

Truly amazing sound

Thanks to its composite construction, the Continuum™ cone avoids the abrupt transitions in behavior 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.
