Bowers & Wilkins - 705 S3 Signature Bookshelf Speaker with 1" Tweeter on Top and 6.5" Midbass (Pair) - Datuk Gloss
About this product
705 S3 Signature offers performance upgrades over existing 705 S3 models. New luxury finishes include Midnight Blue Metallic or Datuk Gloss wood veneer with trimmed gold detailing. Its Carbon Dome tweeter is housed in a redesigned Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top enclosure used in 800 Series Diamond products. That joins a subtly curved baffle endowed with a ‘pod’ housing for its Continuum Cone bass/midrange driver, ensuring that you hear less of the speaker’s cabinet, and more of the music you love.
Color
Datuk GlossAudio 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.
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.
Optional Speaker Stand
The FS-700 S3 is the perfect match.
Magnetic Grills
Each model includes magnetic speaker grills.
Step up from 705 S3
Looking for a performance step up? The 705 S3 is the top of the line bookshelf speaker in the 700 Series. You will either need to step into the 805D4 if you are looking for a better bookshelf speaker, or the 703S3 if you want to stay in the same product series.

The 706 S3 is an outstanding bookshelf speaker for use in larger spaces. Thanks to its decoupled Carbon Dome tweeter and carefully upgraded crossover, it provides exceptional detail and insight into your music, while its substantial 6.5in Continuum Cone bass/midrange drive unit provides ample scale and extension. Like its 705 S3 sibling, it performs at its best on the optional FS-700 S3 stand.
R3 Meta redefines bookshelf speaker’s performance. Sharing the same drivers as the range-topping R11 Meta, the R3 Meta is a true three-way design. It has a 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT and a powerful 6.5” hybrid aluminum bass driver that pushes performance to the extreme.
