Signature product launches are rare and special events in Bowers & Wilkins’ 54-year history, but when the company attaches the name Signature to its loudspeakers, you can be sure the results are very special. This is what recently happened to their 705 and 702 models.
The new 705 Signature and 702 Signature share a common philosophy with their predecessors: like previous Signatures, the new models are carefully upgraded and lavishly finished loudspeakers that represent the apex of current Bowers & Wilkins design, engineering and manufacturing processes. A huge amount of care and attention has been paid to improving their acoustic performance via an upgraded crossover design, and -also- to carefully crafting the luxurious new cabinet finish.
Launched in 2017, the 700 Series, already delivers exceptional performance thanks to its careful use of technologies first seen in the high-end 800 Series Diamond, such as the Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top assembly, unique Continuum cone drivers and Aerofoil profile bass drivers. Used in combination with bespoke 700 Series technologies such as the Carbon Dome tweeter plus carefully optimized and rigid cabinets, the result is a range of loudspeakers as superb to listen to as it is to look at, the company says.
As Signature products, the new 705 & 702 Signature now feature specially treated and upgraded bypass capacitors sourced from Mundorf, larger heat-sinking and, in the case of the 702, an upgraded LF capacitor on the bass section of the crossover.
Keeping up with established Signature practices, the 705 and 702 Signature boast a stunning new Datuk Gloss ebony-colored veneer with a distinctive, beautiful, grain, from specialist Italian wood company Alpi. Each pair of speakers is unique, with no two models sharing the same grain pattern or figuring. Bowers & Wilkins adds to Alpi’s painstaking workmanship by applying nine coats of finish – including primer, base coat and lacquer – to create a deep, lustrous appearance. Both models have a Signature identity plate on their rear panel.
The 702 Signature and 705 Signature are priced at $6,499.99 a pair and $3,999.99 a pair respectively and will be available July 2020.
