Bowers & Wilkins 704 S3 Theatre - Speaker Bundle Review

The Audio Tailor team is thrilled to present our in-depth Bowers & Wilkins - 704 S3 Theatre - Speaker Bundle Review, a deep dive into one of the most polished, future-proof high-end home cinema packages available today. From silky highs to room-shaking lows, this premium bundle delivers an immersive, room-filling performance that sets a new benchmark for both hi-fi and home theatre enthusiasts.

Overview

This expertly curated Bowers & Wilkins 700 Series Premium Audio Bundle combines the sleek 704 S3 floorstanders, precision HTM72 S3 centre, compact 707 S3 bookshelf surrounds and the powerhouse ASW610XP subwoofer. You also get your choice of free AM-1 outdoor/indoor speakers or CCM683 in-ceiling speakers, making it a truly versatile solution for immersive 3D sound in any environment.

Design & Build Quality

The 704 S3 stands out as the slimmest floorstanding model in the 700 Series, marrying a space-saving profile with meticulous engineering. Twin Aerofoil™ Profile bass cones deliver rigid, distortion-free lows, while the decoupled Continuum™ cone FST™ driver ensures clean, uncoloured midrange reproduction. Topping it off is the Carbon Dome tweeter — pushing breakup well beyond 47kHz — for crystalline high frequencies and laser-sharp imaging.
The compact HTM72 S3 centre uses identical driver technology to maintain perfect tonality across your front soundstage, while the 707 S3 bookshelf speakers feature a gently curved baffle inspired by B&W’s flagship 800 Series, ensuring coherent dispersion and immersive surround effects. All speakers are finished in a high-gloss black veneer that complements any décor.

Sound Performance

• Deep, Impactful Bass: The ASW610XP’s 10-inch paper pulp/Aramid fibre driver powered by a 500W Class D amplifier delivers cinema-grade low-end authority — from thunderous movie explosions to the subtle rumble of orchestral crescendos.
• Midrange Clarity: The Continuum™ cone and FST decoupling on the 704 S3 and HTM72 S3 extract every nuance from voice and instruments, ensuring dialogue is articulate and vocals breathe with natural warmth.
• Silky Highs: The Carbon Dome tweeters consistently produce extended, fatigue-free treble with pinpoint stereo imaging — an absolute treat for critical listening of both blockbuster soundtracks and high-resolution hi-fi tracks.
• Seamless Integration: With perfectly matched timbre across all five speakers, the soundstage remains cohesive and immersive, whether you’re enjoying an epic film score or a delicate acoustic session.
