Experience the incredible performance of the Bowers & Wilkins 703 S3 Floorstanding Speakers, a flagship addition to the 700 Series that brings studio-inspired sound to your home. As one of the most sophisticated speakers in the range, the 703 S3 combines innovative acoustic technology with timeless design, ensuring it performs as beautifully as it looks. Featuring Bowers & Wilkins’ signature Tweeter-on-Top design, this speaker captures every nuance with precision, immersing listeners in a detailed and spacious sound experience.

The 703 S3’s design showcases Bowers & Wilkins’ advanced Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top technology. This meticulously crafted aluminium enclosure extends the tube loading for the tweeter, providing an open and natural high-frequency response. The elongated tweeter housing is milled from a single block of aluminium to resist resonance, delivering sharp, clear sound that captures every high-frequency detail. The Carbon Dome tweeter technology, exclusive to the 700 Series, raises the breakup threshold to an impressive 47kHz, enhancing imaging and ensuring every note and detail is crystal clear.

In addition to high-frequency clarity, the 703 S3 excels in midrange performance with its decoupled Continuum™ cone FST™ midrange driver. This midrange driver, enhanced by Bowers & Wilkins’ revolutionary Biomimetic Suspension, dramatically improves midrange clarity by reducing unwanted air pressure and coloration typical of conventional designs. The result is transparency and authenticity, allowing vocals and instruments to be rendered with lifelike precision. This decoupling further isolates the midrange performance, minimizing interference from the speaker’s powerful bass drivers.

The bass foundation of the 703 S3 is equally impressive, thanks to the twin Aerofoil Profile bass cones. Engineered through advanced computer modelling, these cones feature variable thickness for rigidity and stability where it’s needed most. This design innovation allows the 703 S3 to produce deep, impactful bass that brings a full-bodied, cinematic sound to larger spaces. Whether you’re listening to your favourite music or enjoying a film soundtrack, these bass drivers ensure every low note is delivered with depth and power.

The cabinet construction of the 703 S3 further elevates its acoustic performance. A curved baffle, seen for the first time in the 700 Series, reduces diffraction and improves driver alignment, creating an immersive soundstage. Inspired by the design of the 800 Series Diamond, this curved baffle positions the midrange and bass drivers in individual pod-type housings, which sit forward of the speaker’s main cabinet. This design reduces the audible impact of the cabinet, allowing for a cleaner, more transparent sound that feels spacious and open.

The 703 S3 Floorstanding Speaker fits seamlessly into any room with its elegant design and choice of premium finishes, including the sophisticated new Mocha option. With a 3-way vented-box system, a frequency range of 43Hz to 33kHz, and a sensitivity of 88dB, the 703 S3 offers flexibility and performance suitable for a range of amplifier options, with a recommended amplifier power range from 30W to 150W. The slim profile makes these speakers easy to integrate into home environments without compromising on performance or style.

The Bowers & Wilkins 703 S3 Floorstanding Speakers bring the best of B&W’s studio-inspired technology to your listening room, blending engineering excellence with a timeless aesthetic. For a true-to-life sound experience, we invite you to visit Len Wallis Audio, where you can experience the 703 S3’s performance in person. Let our team demonstrate the incredible detail, depth, and clarity that define these exceptional speakers.
