Color
MochaCarbon Dome Tweeter
Carbon Dome tweeters deliver a dramatic improvementon the aluminium double dome tweeter, raising the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail. The closest performance to our Diamond Dome Tweeters.
Solid Body Tweeter
Our redesigned Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing. A more elongated form incorporates a longer tubeloading system to produce an even more free and open sound. The decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminium to better resist resonance.
Continuum Cone
Continuum is a woven composite that blends control with flexibility. The result is breathtaking clarity. Hear voices, guitars and bass instruments with precision and transparency.
Biomimetic Suspension
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.
Decoupled Midrange
The Continuum midrange driver is mounted on a shock absorber, ensuring minimal interference from the operation of the loudspeaker’s bass drivers. Less noise means greater clarity.
Aerofoil Bass
Advanced computer modeling carbon fiber and a syntactic core are used to produce a cone with maximum stiffness where it’s needed most. This optimised shape means the cone displays pistonic behaviour further up the audible range, producing precise, controlled and utterly lifelike bass.
Curved Baffle
This allows the midrange and bass drivers to be located in individual housings that sit proud of the speaker baffle. When combined with the curvature of the structure, this approach reduces the audible impact of the cabinet, creating a cleaner, more open and more immersive sound.
Finishes
This model is available in Gloss Black, Mocha and Satin White.

702 S3 is our 700 Series flagship: a state-of-the-art floorstanding speaker that defines standards for performance in its class. Its Carbon Dome tweeter is housed in a Solid Body Tweeter assembly, derived from 800 Series Diamond. That ensures even more realistic treble, while its decoupled midrange assembly, enhanced here with our revolutionary Biomimetic Suspension, provides outstanding midrange transparency and openness. And thanks to its downward-firing port configuration and its trio of Aerofoil Profile bass cones, 702 S3 can deliver bass that’s both profoundly deep and endlessly articulate. If you want the best in the series, this is it.
The R11 Meta is the floorstanding model of the R Series. For a listening experience, its combination of 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT and four 6.5” hybrid aluminum bass drivers allow it to pick out the subtle details of a recording, while also delivering raw power and agility. Metamaterial absorbs 99% of unwanted sound for pure and natural sound.
703 S3 now features our iconic Tweeter-on-Top configuration, transforming its ability to render detail and space. That breakthrough, plus its decoupled FST Continuum cone midrange driver– enhanced by the addition of our revolutionary Biomimetic Suspension – combine to make 703 S3 an exceptional loudspeaker. Its twin Aerofoil Profile bass drivers mean it can fill even the largest rooms with full bodied, realistic sound.
Our flagship centre-channel loudspeaker, the HTM71 S3 features a Carbon Dome drive unit housed in a Tweeter-On-Top enclosure, making it the perfect match for its 705 S3, 703 S3 and 702 S3 stablemates. This approach allows for outstanding integration and an even-more-immersive listening experience across our premium 700 Series-based surround sound systems. The HTM71 S3 also features a 5” Continuum Cone FST midrange driver complete with our Biomimetic Suspension– particularly important for clarity with dialogue.

Specs
I have a Marantz model30 amp 100 wats per channel at 8ohm 200 wats per channel at 4ohm will my Marantz work with this speaker
Answered by Bowers & Wilkins TeamWe have used the MODEL30 with 702S3 and the amplifier has plenty of power.
price per speaker $3500 for B&W 703 ? My 802s were priced as pairs No one buys just onevspeaker!
Answered by Bowers & Wilkins TeamHello M, Thank you for your inquiry. The pricing is due to the packaging. Floor-standing speakers are packaged and shipped individually, each with its own serial number. Sincerely, Bowers & Wilkins
What the low frequency response of this model?
Answered by Bowers & Wilkins TeamHello Mike, The 702 S3 offers a low-frequency extension down to 28Hz (-6dB). While is can go pretty low, we still recommend pairing it with a subwoofer for a fuller sound but these towers can stand great on their own.
Does this one pair perfect with Marantz PM6004 Integrated Amplifier?
Answered by Bowers & Wilkins TeamHello Hung. The PM6004 integrated amplifier can drive the 702 S3 speakers if you have a smaller room space and your volume level isn't too spirited. Otherwise, I would suggest something like a Marantz Model 40n or a Model 30 if you really want to hear what the 702 S3 speakers can do.
How many bass drivers does the speaker have?
This speaker has three 6.5" bass drivers.
