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.
Carbon 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.

Answered by Bowers & Wilkins Team
Q: QuestionWhy do the speakers have 4 wire inputs at the back(2pair).(3 answers)
A: AnswerSo that the speakers can be bi-amped. Powering the low-frequency bass speakers (woofers) separately from the high-frequency treble speakers (tweeters) in a sound system by using two audio amplifiers. The frequency range for each speaker must comply with its design parameters. Crossover networks are provided in the speaker to do that which is bypassed when the speaker terminals at the back are driven separately.Answered by Richard

Bowers & Wilkins 704 S3
I bought a pair of Bowers & Wilkins 700 Series Floor standing Speakers. They were the 704 S3 Speaker which has two 6 1/2" Bass drivers & one 1" Tweeter. I made four trips to Best Buy Clearwater. I connected my cell phone to the audio equip in the listening room and selected diverse types of music from YouTube female vocalists to symphonies and compared the sound from all of the speakers in the room to the B&W 704 S43. On each trip there was a different staff member present. It was unanimous on every trip, the B&W 704 S3 was the best sounding speaker in the room. I highly recommend a trip to BestBuy to go check them out for yourself.

Great Sounding Towers
I originally walked into the store expecting to get an SVS Sub and Klipsch Towers/Center Channel. I made the mistake of bringing the wife with me and walking into the demo room... She loved the B&W towers look and size, plus the sound was head and shoulders clearer than everything else in the room.

B&W S3 704's - They sound great in medium room
These speakers are excellent. I had tested them versus the larger speakers in the S3 700 line. They definitely sound different, but I didn't think inferior and in my apartment they soundgreat. Very crisp highs with that very detailed high-frequency sound definition, and I thought the base was fuller than on the larger speakers. Unless you have a huge room, these are excellent speakers
