BOWERS & WILKINS 703 S3 Floorstanding Speakers – Pair
The Bowers and Wilkins 703 S3 is an exceptional 3-way floorstanding loudspeaker that features a revolutionary Biomimetic Suspension for its midrange driver, coupled with twin Aerofoil Profile bass drivers. It also boasts an iconic Tweeter-on-Top configuration for superior detail and space. The sleek, curved cabinet design provides not only a stunning look but also better anti-resonance properties. Experience a realistic, full-bodied sound that fills even the largest rooms.
The Bowers & Wilkins 703 S3 is a 3-way vented-box loudspeaker system that boasts of cutting-edge features and technology. The Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing, an iconic Bowers & Wilkins technology, has been elongated in this latest generation to produce an even more open sound with high frequencies. The housing is carefully decoupled and milled from a single block of aluminum to reduce resonance. The Carbon Dome tweeters, designed specifically for the 700 Series, deliver excellent imaging accuracy and detail, thanks to their raised breakup threshold of 47kHz. The midrange cone performance is significantly improved with the new Biomimetic Suspension, which reduces unwanted air pressure and coloration that a conventional fabric spider can generate. The Continuumâ„¢ cone, composed of composite materials, delivers a more open and neutral sound, free of abrupt transitions in behavior that can affect the performance of conventional drive units.
The 703 S3 features a dedicated midrange cone using four key Bowers & Wilkins technologies, including the Continuum cone, FSTâ„¢, Biomimetic Suspension, and midrange decoupling, ensuring minimal interference from the operation of the loudspeaker’s bass drivers. The Aerofoilâ„¢ Profile bass cone has variable thickness, providing stiffness and rigidity where it’s needed most, resulting in deep and dynamic bass. The curved front baffle, derived from the 800 Series Diamond, reduces the audible impact of the cabinet, creating a cleaner, more open, and more immersive sound.
The technical features of the 703 S3 include a Decoupled Carbon Dome tweeter, Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top, Continuumâ„¢ cone FSTâ„¢ midrange, Decoupled midrange, Aerofoilâ„¢ Profile bass cones, and Flowportâ„¢. It has a frequency range of 30Hz to 33kHz, a sensitivity of 90dB, and a nominal impedance of 8Ω, with a recommended amplifier power of 30W – 200W into 8Ω on an unclipped program. The loudspeaker has a net weight of 28.8kg and dimensions of 1010mm (H) x 192mm (W) x 316mm (D) (cabinet only) or 1117mm (H) x 290mm (W) x 353mm (D) (including tweeter and plinth).
