Bowers & Wilkins 703 S3 – 3-way Floorstanding Speakers
Usually, when a new version of a popular speaker is introduced the improvements and upgrades are relatively minor but not in this case. The Bowers & Wilkins 703 S3 boasts the high-end top-mounted Solid Body Tweeter assembly, formerly reserved for the top of the range 702 model. The result is improved accuracy and detail for the high frequencies. Like all 700 S3 models, the appeal isn’t just audio based, the 703 S3 floorstanding speakers are both beautiful and effortlessly elegant – you no longer have to balance between style and performance.
Proprietary drivers
The 703 S3’s Carbon Dome tweeter is housed in an all-new Solid Body Tweeter assembly, derived from the flagship Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Diamond range. This ensures the most accurate, lifelike treble, while its decoupled midrange assembly, enhanced here with B&W’s revolutionary Biomimetic Suspension, provides outstanding midrange transparency and openness. With twin Aerofoil Profile bass cones, the 703 S3 can deliver deep, punchy bass that’s also beautifully accurate.
