Bowers & Wilkins - 702 S3 Signature Floorstanding Speaker with 1" Tweeter On Top and Three 6.5" Bass Drivers (Each) - Datuk Gloss

702 S3 Signature offers performance upgrades over existing 702 S3 models. New luxury finishes include Midnight Blue Metallic or Datuk Gloss wood veneer with trimmed gold detailing. The 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 Signature can deliver bass that’s both profoundly deep and endlessly articulate. If you want the best in the series, this is it.

• Audio Upgrades Include: Introduction of new, more open tweeter grille mesh, as developed for 800 Series Signature loudspeakers, new Mundorf EVO Silver Gold Oil capacitor, Bevenbi MPAZ-E polypropylene capacitors, air-core inductors, upgraded poles with larger venting and lower inductance, brass speaker terminal posts for cleaner signal path, and optimized bypass capacitors.
• Carbon Dome Tweeter: Carbon Dome tweeters deliver a dramatic improvement over 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 revolutionizes 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 optimized 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.
• Magnetic Grills: Each model includes magnetic speaker grills.
