Bowers & Wilkins only uses the Signature name sparingly, reserving it for the rare and radically upgraded versions of its conventional loudspeakers and technologies. Since the brand was founded in 1966, only eight series of loudspeaker have carried the prestigious Signature mark and now its such a time!
According to the press release, the new 702 S3 Signature floorstanding loudspeaker further refines and advances the already exceptional 702 S3, introducing all-new levels of insight and realism that put it in a class of its own. The new range also introduces the 705 S3 Signature standmount loudspeaker, while, for the first time, the 700 S3 Signature range includes a new center speaker, the HTM71 S3 Signature, ensuring Signature-series levels of performance for home theater enthusiasts when combined with the 702 S3 Signature and 705 S3 Signature.
The new Bowers & Wilkins 702 S3 Signature, 705 S3 Signature and HTM71 S3 Signature models build on a heritage that stretches back to the acclaimed Silver Signature loudspeaker of 1991, originally developed as a posthumous tribute to the founder of the company, John Bowers.
The larger model in the new Signature range is the 702 S3 Signature, a powerful three-way floorstanding loudspeaker that builds on the specification of the 702 S3, the flagship model in the 700 Series range. The heart of the design is its Carbon Dome tweeter, housed in a decoupled Tweeter-on-Top aluminum enclosure and enhanced in this model with the addition of a new protective tweeter grille mesh derived from the 800 Series Signature models, introduced in 2023. The decoupled Continuum Cone FST midrange drive unit – complete with its acclaimed Biomimetic Suspension, ensures clean, effortless insight into the midrange and an open, spacious sound, the company says. The 702 S3 Signature also includes three 165mm (6.5-inch) Aerofoil Profile bass drivers.
B&W states that, as with all Signature models over the years, the 702 S3 Signature benefits from careful upgrades to its crossover aimed at further increasing transparency, with new and upgraded Mundorf capacitors, improved inductors and revised bypass capacitors. Finally, it includes new and upgraded speaker terminal posts featuring high-quality brass cores. Available from 27th March 2024, from selected dealers, 700 Series Signature is available in two special finishes: Midnight Blue Metallic and Datuk Gloss.
