Indulge in Sonic Excellence

Presenting the flagship 702 S3, a state-of-the-art tower speaker that redefines performance standards in its class, promising an unparalleled experience that guarantees goosebumps. The 700 Series showcases the latest iteration of the iconic Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing, meticulously carved from a single block of aluminum to resist resonance and deliver an even more expansive and open sound with high frequencies.

Precision Crafted for Detail

Carbon Dome tweeters, purpose-built for the 700 Series, elevate the listening experience with a breakup threshold of 47kHz, ensuring pinpoint imaging accuracy and sharper detail compared to traditional aluminum double dome tweeters.

Unmatched Sound Purity

The Continuum™ cone, with its composite construction, eradicates abrupt transitions in behavior, ensuring a more open, neutral performance that captures voices and instruments with unparalleled precision and transparency.

Unrivaled Clarity

Every three-way loudspeaker in the 700 Series features a dedicated midrange cone that incorporates Bowers & Wilkins technologies, including the Continuum cone, FST™, Biomimetic Suspension, and midrange decoupling. This meticulous design minimizes interference from bass drivers, ensuring clean and clear audio reproduction.

Scientific Innovation in Bass

Crafted through advanced computer modeling, the Aerofoil™ Profile bass cone boasts variable thickness for optimal stiffness and rigidity where needed most. The result is deep and dynamic bass, making the 700 Series a triumph of scientific innovation in audio for any discerning listener.
