This Signature stand-mount loudspeaker builds on the performance levels of the Bowers & Wilkins 705 S3, evolving them to new heights. Featuring optimised technology from our most advanced loudspeakers, as well as our proprietary Continuum mid-bass drive unit and Tweeter-on-Top, the 705 S3 Signature utilises an upgraded mid-bass motor system, improved capacitors, revised speaker terminals, plus a more open tweeter grille mesh, as developed for our 800 Series Signature loudspeakers.
With the 700 Series, Studio Sound comes home. 700 Series Signature builds on that extraordinary pedigree, featuring floorstanding and stand-mount loudspeakers, plus a first-of-its-kind Signature centre channel speaker. The collection forms our most extensive Signature range yet. Optimised technologies and unique, luxurious finishes combine to deliver performance and elegance that’s a level above the best.
Biomimetic Suspension
Sometimes, making a big difference takes unconventional thinking. The transition from our famous yellow Aramid Fiber midrange cones to our Continuum cone technology resulted in a massive improvement to midrange performance. Now, we’ve turned our attention to another crucial element in a loudspeaker cone: the fabric spider. The new Biomimetic Suspension revolutionises midrange cone performance by greatly reducing the unwanted air pressure and coloration that a conventional fabric spider can generate. The result? Midrange transparency you wouldn’t believe possible.
Solid Body Tweeter
The 700 Series Signature models feature 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 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.
Upgraded crossovers
The new 700 Series Signature models use upgraded crossover designs crafted by our expert engineers. Developed using rigorous testing, Bowers & Wilkins’ engineers carefully optimise these crossovers to perfection, to maximise the loudspeakers’ performance. The 705 S3 Signature utilises an upgraded mid-bass motor system, improved capacitors and revised speaker terminals for even cleaner, refined sound.
Elegant Finishes
700 Series Signature looks as beautiful as it sounds. With the choice of two luxurious finishes, Midnight Blue Metallic paint or Datuk Gloss wood veneer, each model complements exceptional performance with elegant design.
Aerofoil™ Profile bass cone
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 is deep and dynamic bass.
