Bowers & Wilkins 703 S3 Floorstanding Speakers - pair - Gloss Black

Bowers & Wilkins 703 S3 Floorstanding Speakers - pair - Gloss Black

 

The 703 just got even better

Often, a new version of a familiar speaker will involve upgrades that are difficult to see. The Bowers & Wilkins 703 S3 has an obvious improvement over earlier versions — the 1" Decoupled Carbon Dome™ tweeter in a top-mounted, solid-body housing was formerly reserved for the company's top-of-the-line flagship floor-stander, the 702. Improved accuracy and detail for high frequencies is a huge value-add for this speaker.

Bowers & Wilkins also upgraded the midrange design. The 6" Decoupled Continuum™ cone FST (Fixed Suspension Transducer) driver now benefits from the company's Biomimetic Suspension, a design which does away with the traditional fabric woofer "spider," which can introduce midrange inaccuracy. This advanced driver also features midrange decoupling technology to minimize interference from the hard-hitting dual 6-1/2" Aerofoil™ Profile bass woofers.

And if that's not enough, there's now a gorgeous new mocha finish option.

Flowport™ for better bass

The bass cones are aided by Bowers & Wilkins' Flowport technology. The 703's bass reflex enclosure features a rear-firing, dimpled and flared port that provides natural bass response without the turbulent "chuffing" that standard ports can create. The speaker includes a two-piece foam plug that can be inserted if you want to adjust bass response to your liking.

A rich history of audio excellence

Founded in England in the 1960s, Bowers & Wilkins is known worldwide for their innovative hi-fi speaker designs and their premium headphones. Crutchfield is proud to offer a diverse selection of products from this legendary audio brand.
