Bowers & Wilkins Say….
The 705 S3 Signature is expertly engineered to deliver sonic brilliance in a more compact form.
Featuring optimised technology from our most advanced loudspeakers, as well as our proprietary Continuum mid-bass drive unit and Tweeter-on-Top, the 705 S3 Signature utilises an upgraded mid-bass motor system, improved capacitors, revised speaker terminals, plus a more open tweeter grille mesh, as developed for our 800 Series Signature loudspeakers.
We are inventors, pioneers and innovators, continuously developing technologies and products that raise the bar for audio excellence. Bowers & Wilkins engineers craft our 700 Series Signature models with the same care and precision that all our category-defining audio systems are renowned for. The results, however, are unique.
Built on the foundations of our most advanced technologies, we carefully optimize our 700 Series Signature models to reflect the latest developments in audio excellence. The small details can make the biggest difference – and these are the ones we pay close attention to fine-tuning.
We’re passionate about providing the best, truest listening experience we can. Our 700 Series Signature models draw from this lifelong goal and offer a pinnacle in performance and design. We’ve evolved these loudspeakers to optimum heights. This is the best of our best.
