Delivering a dramatic improvement on the aluminum double dome tweeter, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 700 Series features the latest generation of our iconic Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing. Its new, more elongated form incorporates a longer tube-loading system to produce an even more free and open sound with high frequencies. The carefully decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminum to better resist resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Body Tweeter-on-Top\u003c\/strong\u003e – Precision-milled aluminum housing reduces resonance and improves treble openness and detail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon Dome Tweeter \u003c\/strong\u003e– Purpose-built for the 700 Series, delivers high-frequency precision with a breakup threshold of 47kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContinuum™ Cone Midrange\u003c\/strong\u003e – Produces transparent, natural sound with exceptional vocal and instrumental accuracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiomimetic Suspension \u0026amp; FST™ \u003c\/strong\u003e– Improves midrange clarity by reducing unwanted air pressure and coloration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTriple Aerofoil™ Profile Bass Drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e – Engineered for deep, controlled bass with dynamic low-end performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDownward-Firing Bass Port\u003c\/strong\u003e – Enhances room interaction and placement flexibility while minimizing turbulence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat amplifier power is recommended for the Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins 702 S3?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAn amplifier output between 30W and 300W into 8Ω unclipped is recommended. Due to the loudspeaker's nominal 8Ω impedance with a minimum dip to 3.1Ω, partnering with a high-current, stable amplifier ensures optimal dynamic authority and headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 702 S3 be bi-wired or bi-amped?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The 702 S3 is equipped with dual pairs of high-quality binding posts, enabling both bi-wiring and bi-amping configurations to isolate the drive signals between the high\/mid and low-frequency networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the downward-firing port benefit room placement?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe downward-firing Flowport™ vents directly into the integrated plinth, creating a consistent, 360-degree bass dispersion pattern. This significantly mitigates typical rear-wall boundary interactions, offering greater positioning flexibility within the listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bowers \u0026 Wilkins","offers":[{"title":"Mocha","offer_id":67941648859189,"sku":"702 S3-Mocha","price":3795.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/products\/702-s3_mocha_img_1.webp?v=1693020642","url":"https:\/\/hificentre.com\/products\/b-w-702-s3-floor-standing-speaker-demo","provider":"Hi-Fi Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
