B&W 707 S3 Overview
All three floorstanders in the 700 Series feature new Flowports - larger-diameter versions of the Flowports found on the 800 Series Diamonds. This gives them a sonic edge over the other floorstanders while retaining all the refinements and acoustic quality that have become hallmarks of the brand.
The other main selling point is that the B&W 707 S3 is very affordable compared to its bigger brother, the 702 S3. It has the same Tweeter-on-Top tech and Biomimetic suspension, but a port that doesn't fire down, like the 702's, and a slightly smaller Continuum cone bass/midrange driver, which is a step down in size from the 702's (both have 6in drivers).
The B&W 707 S3 is the slimmest speaker in the Bowers & Wilkins 700 Series line, but it packs an impressive performance punch. Designed to work in smaller rooms, it has a Carbon Dome tweeter and Continuum cone mid-bass, plus a curved baffle to reduce diffraction and provide a smooth soundstage.
B&W 707 S3 Features
It also features a new elongated tube-loading system, and vented voice coils and magnets to boost efficiency. It has a slightly lower sensitivity (85dB vs. 87dB) and can be paired with the newly-designed FS-700 S3 stands for added stability.
B&W claims its new S3 speakers 'bring studio sound home', and we think it's a fair claim. They're a major step up from the company's previous S2 models, and represent the pinnacle of Bowers & Wilkins engineering.
They've undergone extensive revisions, including a greater emphasis on bypass capacitors from Mundorf and beefed-up heatsinks. The crossovers themselves have also been revised.
In addition, they've gained a pair of Aerofoil Profile bass cones, which are a composite sandwich of materials with a carefully formed variable profile to help deliver a more natural and refined sound.
These are a great match for the new Carbon Dome tweeters, which raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz for a much sharper image and detailed insight into your music.
It's a very impressive design that will give you a hugely rewarding listening experience for a fraction of the cost of most other loudspeakers.
They're the flagship floorstander in the new 700 Series and feature a Tweeter-on-Top tech and Biomimetic Suspension, along with larger diameter Flowports that fire downwards from an integrated plinth. The port also utilizes premium stainless steel M6 spikes, which is a cut above the slightly less heavy-duty M10 that's included with the 702 S3.
That makes for a pretty substantial sonic upgrade. You can't get away from the fact that these speakers are incredibly well-built, and the finish is just as good as we've seen in the latest 800 Series Diamonds.
And they're a lot more comfortable to listen to than they look, which is another big plus for the B&W 707 S3. The design means it doesn't take up much space on the floor, which can be handy if you don't have a room dedicated to them.

- After Sales Support - The only issue with Hi-Fi equipment is that you will not find local service centers in every city. Most of the brands have their service centers only in the metro cities and hence it becomes difficult for the customers who are living far away places to claim warranty. At AV Kart, we solve this problem by arranging pikcup and drop facility from the nearest service center with the help of our logistic partners.
