Bowers & Wilkins 702 S3 Floor-Standing Speaker Pair

The Ultimate Expression of Acoustic Excellence in Floor Standing Design

Pushing the boundaries of audio reproduction in its class, the Bowers & Wilkins 702 S3 represents a masterful achievement in loudspeaker engineering—where studio-inspired technology meets living room elegance. This flagship floor-standing model establishes new standards of performance, meticulously crafted for discerning audiophiles who demand uncompromising sound quality.

Studio-Inspired Performance

At the heart of the 702 S3 lies the advanced Carbon Dome tweeter—housed in our iconic Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top configuration with a new, more elongated form incorporating a longer tube-loading system. This carefully decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminium to better resist resonance, delivering a more free and open sound with pristine high frequencies that reach a breakup threshold of 47kHz.

The 702 S3's midrange is faithfully reproduced through our dedicated 150mm Continuum cone FST driver, featuring Biomimetic Suspension and midrange decoupling—technologies cascaded directly from our flagship 800 Series Diamond. The commanding bass response comes from a trio of 165mm Aerofoil Profile bass drivers, developed using advanced computer modelling techniques to provide variable thickness for stiffness and rigidity where it's needed most. Each component works in perfect harmony, creating a listening experience of unprecedented realism and emotional engagement.

Engineering Excellence

The innovative downward-firing port configuration fires into a dedicated plinth, delivering bass that's both profoundly deep and endlessly articulate. This proprietary architecture ensures flawless signal integrity and unmatched clarity across the entire frequency spectrum from 28Hz to 33kHz.

The cabinet architecture has been fundamentally reimagined with a sleeker, more elegant profile than its predecessor, featuring a narrower cabinet and curved baffle to soften the edges. Every material, every component, and every fastener has been selected not merely for its acoustic properties but for its contribution to the holistic performance of this extraordinary instrument.

Refined Luxury

Available in three elegant finishes—Gloss Black, Satin White, and Mocha—the 702 S3 transcends mere function to become a statement piece that commands attention in even the most refined living spaces. The protruding midrange and bass drivers contribute to both the more attractive appearance and superior acoustic performance.

Each speaker is meticulously crafted to reflect generations of British audio heritage and a relentless pursuit of perfection. The premium terminal tray features four chunky terminals on the rear baffle of each loudspeaker to enable bi-wiring or bi-amping for those seeking to maximize performance.

Beyond Conventional Speaker Design

The 702 S3 benefits from significant technological advancements that elevate it into a new league, including:

• Enhanced Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing for more transparent high frequencies
• Carbon Dome tweeter with 47kHz breakup threshold for pinpoint imaging accuracy
• Dedicated midrange cone using Continuum technology, FST, Biomimetic Suspension and midrange decoupling
• Trio of Aerofoil Profile bass cones with variable thickness for deep and dynamic bass
• Downward-firing port configuration for articulate, controlled bass performance
• Upgraded motor chassis and crossovers, along with a refined terminal tray

An Investment in Acoustic Excellence

The 702 S3 is not merely a loudspeaker—it is the culmination of decades of acoustic research and engineering excellence, bringing studio monitor precision to your living space. For those who demand nothing less than exceptional sonic performance and who appreciate the finest expressions of British craftsmanship, the 702 S3 represents an investment in a lifetime of musical revelation.

Experience sound as the artist truly intended—inspired by recording studios and made for living rooms.
