Description
B&W FS 700 S3 Overview
The FS 700 S3 stands have been upgraded to match the slimmer and curved profile of the stand mount and center channel speakers. They're supplied as a pair and come in complementary black or silver finishes to complement any decor.
They have fillable columns and can be filled with ballast or sand to add mass and improve vibration damping. Cable management is also included, with threaded inserts underneath each model of the speaker to secure them safely.
Compatibility: The FS700 S3 stand is designed to work with the 700 Series bookshelf speakers, including the 707 S3, 706 S3, and 705 S3. It's sold separately.
The floor-standing models in the FS 700 Series are fitted with upgraded spikes that are suitable for heavier weights and help anchor the speakers to the floor. This includes stainless steel M6 spikes on the 702 S3 floorstander, a heavy-duty M10 on the 707 S3, and M10 and M6 on the 705 S3 and HTM72 S3.
B&W FS 700 S3 Features
The new Bowers & Wilkins FS 700 Series range is a step up in performance over the company's previous models, with slimmer cabinets and updated Flowports that help deliver a more expansive sound. The revised form also reduces the impact of the loudspeaker's cabinet on the audio output by minimizing "cabinet diffraction," which can cause coloration and lower sound purity.
All speakers in the FS 700 Series have been redesigned, with thinner front baffles and drive units mounted inside pods that stand out a quarter inch from the front baffle. This is in addition to the Matrix bracing used on previous models that help keep drivers out of the baffle.
Four of the FS 700 Series models, including 702 S3, 703 S3, and 705 S3 floorstanders and HTM71 S3 center speaker feature B&W's Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top design with a carbon-dome tweeter. These are the only models that employ the trickle-down technology, with B&W claiming it allows the tweeter to operate more efficiently and provide an open, spacious soundstage.
The tweeter pods on the 700 Series are said to be longer than those in earlier designs and have been improved with a larger loading tube to dissipate the rear waves created by the driver. The pods are also machined out of solid blocks of aluminum, which provides a more effective heatsink and improves durability.
The FS 700 Series' tweeters feature B&W's Biomimetic suspension. This uses the same trickle-down technology that trickles down to the mid/bass drivers to improve bass response and increase low-frequency extension.
All 700 Series floor-standing speakers benefit from the updated Flowports, which are bigger and more substantial for increased output and a more expansive sound. All floorstanders also feature re-orientated ports that fire downwards, which B&W says makes them easier to locate in any room.
