The Bowers & Wilkins 705 S3 is an advanced two-way monitor speaker designed to provide an exceptional listening experience by revealing intricate details in audio playback. It features a solid body Tweeter-on-Top design that hails from the 800 Series Diamond, allowing for enhanced high-frequency reproduction. The speaker is equipped with the latest iteration of the Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing, which incorporates a longer tube-loading system to deliver a more open and clear high-frequency sound. The tweeter itself is a 25mm carbon dome, purpose-engineered for the 700 Series, boasting a high breakup threshold of 47kHz for improved imaging accuracy. Coupled with the 165mm Continuum mid/bass driver, the speaker delivers bass extension down to 50Hz while maintaining a neutral and transparent performance due to the composite construction of the driver. The cabinet design features a curved baffle for increased strength and reduced resonance, and the rear-ported design includes a Flowport bass reflex vent for improved low-frequency response. The build quality of the 705 S3 is exceptional, available in finishes such as gloss black, satin white, and mocha, enhancing its appearance. With dimensions of 413 x 192 x 297mm and a weight of 9.6 kg each, these speakers are designed to perform beautifully in a range of listening environments, provided they are driven with adequate power, showcasing an expansive soundstage with articulate midrange and a smooth crossover.
