Discover the slim, powerful, and beautifully crafted Bowers & Wilkins 704 S3 Floorstanding Speakers. As the slimmest model in Bowers & Wilkins’ 700 Series floorstanding lineup, the 704 S3 delivers an impressive audio experience without taking up excessive space, making it ideal for discerning listeners who seek both elegance and exceptional sound quality. Featuring advanced acoustic technologies and meticulous engineering, these speakers provide ample depth, clarity, and precision to elevate any music or audio setup.

Central to the 704 S3’s performance are the twin Aerofoil Profile bass drivers, purpose-designed to ensure impressive bass response and deep extension without sacrificing clarity. These 5-inch drivers utilize an advanced structure that resists flexing and distortion, allowing the bass frequencies to remain tight and impactful even at higher volumes. The Aerofoil Profile provides the perfect balance between lightweight construction and robust output, offering bass notes that are rich and powerful, perfect for filling larger rooms with sound.

Complementing the bass drivers is Bowers & Wilkins’ decoupled Continuum™ cone FST™ midrange driver, a hallmark of the 700 Series. This 5-inch driver uses a composite material that minimizes abrupt transitions, delivering an open and neutral midrange that reproduces vocals and instruments with exceptional transparency and precision. The decoupling of the midrange driver minimizes interference from other drivers and the cabinet itself, preserving the purity of sound across the midrange spectrum. This design ensures that the midrange frequencies remain distinct and lifelike, allowing listeners to hear every nuance in their favorite music with astonishing clarity.

For high-frequency performance, the 704 S3 features Bowers & Wilkins’ renowned Carbon Dome tweeter housed in the latest Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top enclosure. This tweeter design, unique to the 700 Series, raises the breakup threshold to an impressive 47kHz, providing pinpoint accuracy and detail in the high frequencies. The elongated form of the Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top enclosure incorporates a longer tube-loading system, delivering an open and spacious soundstage. Crafted from a single block of aluminium, this housing minimizes resonance, enhancing clarity and precision while allowing the high frequencies to flow with an incredibly natural and uncolored character.

The 704 S3 is a true 3-way vented-box speaker system, a design that further separates the low, mid, and high frequencies for a well-balanced sound profile. Its frequency range extends from 43Hz to 33kHz, and with a frequency response of 48Hz – 28kHz ±3dB, it covers the entire audio spectrum effortlessly. The sensitivity of 88dB and a nominal impedance of 8Ω make it suitable for a wide range of amplifiers, with a recommended amplifier power between 30W and 150W. This compatibility makes the 704 S3 adaptable to different audio setups, ensuring you can achieve the desired performance whether you’re listening at low or high volumes.

Physically, the 704 S3 is designed to blend seamlessly into any room. Measuring 925mm in height (964mm including the plinth), 165mm in width (252mm including the plinth), and 263mm in depth (300mm with grille, 321mm with plinth), the speaker maintains a slim profile while delivering full-bodied sound. Its gloss black finish adds a touch of sophistication, ensuring that it looks as good as it sounds. Each speaker weighs in at 20.53kg, underscoring the quality of materials and engineering that Bowers & Wilkins put into this model.
