Bowers & Wilkins 702 S3 Theatre Speaker Bundle Review

Introduction

Welcome to our Bowers & Wilkins 702 S3 Theatre Speaker Bundle Review, where we delve into one of the most coveted reference systems for audiophiles and home cinema enthusiasts. This premium-grade bundle brings together floorstanding speakers, a centre channel, bookshelf loudspeakers, and a powerful subwoofer to create an immersive sonic experience. Discover why the Bowers & Wilkins 702 S3 Theatre Speaker Bundle stands out as a game-changer for serious listeners.

Design and Build Quality

The 702 S3 floorstanders feature the signature Tweeter-on-Top architecture housed in a solid-body aluminium head, ensuring resonance-free high frequencies. Each speaker benefits from Aerofoil™ profile bass cones machined to optimal thickness profiles, delivering deep, articulate bass without distortion. The HTM71 S3 centre channel shares this hefty build, complemented by twin 130mm Continuum cone drivers for seamless integration and balanced timbral matching.

Acoustic Performance & Technical Excellence

Equipped with Continuum™ mid/bass drivers and Biomimetic Suspension Technology, the 702 S3 speakers produce transparent mids and sparkling trebles with minimal coloration. The curved baffle design on the 705 S3 bookshelf speakers enhances dispersion, creating a wide soundstage perfect for surround positions. Whether you're poring over a symphony or immersing yourself in blockbuster soundtracks, expect pin-point imaging, refined detail retrieval, and effortless musicality.

Subwoofer: DB2D Bass Specialist

The included DB2D subwoofer, powered by 1,000W of Class D amplification and featuring dual 10" drivers in a back-to-back arrangement, excels in delivering room-shaking lows with precision. Advanced DSP, Dynamic EQ, and Room EQ customisation via the Bowers & Wilkins app let you fine-tune low-end performance to your space, ensuring clean, balanced bass that never overwhelms your main speakers.

Customisation with Complimentary Speaker

As a special bonus, choose either the AM-1 all-weather pair for adaptable indoor/outdoor use or the Formation Wedge wireless speaker for hi-res streaming in other rooms—both free with your 700 Series Reference Audio Bundle. This flexibility makes it easy to expand or complement your system according to lifestyle and space requirements.
