Color
Gloss BlackCarbon 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.
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 new 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.
Magnetic Grills
Each model includes magnetic speaker grills.
Step up from 704S3
Looking for a performance step up? The 703 S3 offers our Solid Body Tweeter housing on top of the cabinet for a more holographic sound. Bass drivers increase in size to 6.5" for greater bass power and weight.

If space is at a premium, 704 S3 provides the answer. The slimmest floorstanding loudspeaker Bowers & Wilkins makes, it still packs a mighty punch, with its twin Aerofoil Profile bass drivers ensuring ample extension and scale. Thanks to its decoupled Continuum cone FST midrange driver – enhanced here with our Biomimetic Suspension – it’s capable of delivering crystal clear midrange performance.

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. Twin aerofoil profile bass drivers provide create a rock-solid foundation for dynamic performance.

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.
