Bowers & Wilkins 705 S3
Description
Description
The Bowers & Wilkins 705 S3 is the pinnacle of their 700 Series standmount speakers, engineered to bring out all the subtle details in your music that many speakers fail to capture. Its Carbon Dome tweeter is set within a Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing, inspired by the advanced 800 Series Diamond range. Alongside this, the newly designed curved baffle features a specialized ‘pod’ enclosure for its Continuum Cone bass/midrange driver, minimizing cabinet resonance and ensuring the focus remains entirely on the music.
Highlights
Carbon Tweeter in Solid Aluminum Housing
The specially crafted Carbon tweeter reproduces sound far beyond the audible range, delivering an effortless and airy quality. The external housing, derived from the premium 800 Series, enhances the sound's openness, creating a remarkable three-dimensional soundstage.
Continuum Midrange Driver with Biomimetic Suspension
The Continuum midrange driver, adapted from the top-tier 800 Series, is now equipped with Biomimetic suspension for unparalleled midrange clarity. This innovation provides a lifelike presence to vocals and instruments, as if they were performing live in your room.
Elegant New Curved Cabinet Design
Bowers & Wilkins’ decades-long commitment to reducing cabinet resonance is reflected in the sleek curved cabinets of the 700S3 series. This not only enhances their aesthetic appeal but also improves sound clarity by minimizing unwanted vibrations.
Performance and Recommendations
The 705 S3 bookshelf speaker incorporates the same solid-body external tweeter found in the larger 702 S3 and 703 S3 models. It pairs a 6.5” Continuum cone midbass driver with the curved cabinet design. When positioned on dedicated stands and placed correctly in a room, these speakers deliver an immersive soundstage where instruments and vocals seem almost tangible.
These speakers reach impressively low frequencies, rolling off around 50 Hz, making them ideal for medium to small spaces. Pairing them with a responsive subwoofer like the B&W DB4 can create a setup with a vast soundstage, crystal-clear highs, and deep, precise bass.
For best results, use these speakers on stands and position them slightly away from walls. If you require placement within a bookcase, the 706 S3 might be a better option, as its design better accommodates such setups.
Comparison with Other Models
A common question is whether the 705 S3 or the 704 S3 is the better choice. While the 705 S3 features a superior tweeter, the 704 S3 has the Continuum midrange driver with Biomimetic suspension, offering a more refined midrange. For the S3 series, the 704 S3 tower speaker generally delivers better performance across a broader spectrum of music.
