Experience the ultimate in high-fidelity sound with the Bowers & Wilkins 702 S3 Floorstanding Speakers—our flagship model that redefines performance in its class. With a design that combines advanced acoustic engineering and luxurious aesthetics, the 702 S3 is crafted to deliver an unparalleled listening experience for discerning audiophiles. As part of Bowers & Wilkins’ renowned 700 Series, this speaker incorporates state-of-the-art technologies first developed for the brand’s 800 Series Diamond, offering unmatched detail, clarity, and immersive sound.

The 702 S3 Floorstanding Speaker is distinguished by Bowers & Wilkins’ iconic Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top. This signature design feature is engineered to deliver an expansive and natural high-frequency soundstage. Housed in an elongated, decoupled aluminium enclosure, the tweeter’s tube-loading system allows for exceptionally free and open high frequencies. The enclosure’s precision-crafted single aluminium block construction ensures minimal resonance, preserving the purity and accuracy of each note. The Carbon Dome tweeter within raises the breakup threshold to an impressive 47kHz, achieving pinpoint imaging and fine detail retrieval that transports listeners into the heart of their music.

Midrange performance is another area where the 702 S3 excels, thanks to its 6-inch Continuum™ cone FST™ midrange driver and innovative Biomimetic Suspension system. The Continuum cone, with its advanced composite construction, provides smooth, neutral sound that captures the nuances of vocals and instruments with incredible clarity and precision. The addition of the Biomimetic Suspension to the midrange cone minimizes coloration and air pressure distortion, elevating midrange transparency to unprecedented levels. Bowers & Wilkins has carefully decoupled this midrange driver to eliminate interference from the powerful bass drivers, allowing the midrange frequencies to remain undistorted and true to the original recording.

Bass is deep, controlled, and powerful in the 702 S3, courtesy of three 6.5-inch Aerofoil Profile bass drivers. These advanced bass drivers are designed using computer modelling to ensure variable thickness, providing structural rigidity and delivering impactful bass that is both dynamic and precise. The Aerofoil Profile ensures that low frequencies are rendered with remarkable depth and clarity, enriching the listening experience across all genres of music. Whether you’re enjoying complex orchestral compositions or bass-heavy modern tracks, the 702 S3’s bass performance is immersive and full-bodied, capable of filling large rooms with ease.

The 702 S3 is constructed with an elegant, curved cabinet design, which reduces diffraction and enhances the speaker’s soundstage. This carefully crafted cabinet, incorporating Flowport™ technology, minimizes resonance and distortion, allowing the drivers to operate at peak performance. The Flowport technology also reduces turbulence, ensuring smooth and accurate bass performance even at higher volumes. With this combination of form and function, the 702 S3 adds a refined aesthetic to any listening space while delivering performance that’s worthy of a flagship model.

In terms of specifications, the 702 S3 is a 3-way vented-box system with a frequency range of 28Hz to 33kHz, making it capable of reproducing the full spectrum of sound with stunning accuracy. Its sensitivity of 90dB and nominal impedance of 8Ω make it compatible with a wide range of amplifiers, and the recommended amplifier power of 30W to 200W allows you to customize the audio experience to suit your setup and preferences. Measuring 1010mm in height (1138mm with the tweeter and plinth), 192mm in width (290mm with plinth), and 354mm in depth (410mm with plinth), this speaker has a substantial presence, further emphasizing its status as a premium floorstanding model.
