Bowers and Wilkins 706 S3 Bookshelf Speakers

Thanks to the Bowers and Wilkins 706 S3 Bookshelf Speakers’ decoupled Carbon Dome tweeter and carefully upgraded crossover, it provides exceptional detail and insight into your music, while its substantial 165mm (6.5in) Continuum Cone bass/midrange drive unit provides ample scale and extension for use in larger spaces.

Life-Sized Acoustics

The powerful 706 S3 Bookshelf speaker is the ideal stand-mount loudspeaker for delivering exceptional sound in larger spaces.

Sharper Detail

Carbon Dome tweeters are purpose-built for the 706 S3 speakers. Delivering a dramatic improvement on the aluminium double-dome tweeter, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail.

Truly Amazing Sound

Thanks to its composite construction, the 706 S3 Bookshelf Continuum cone avoids the abrupt transitions in behaviour that can impair the performance of a conventional drive unit. The result is a more open, neutral performance that delivers voices and instruments with precision and transparency.

Inspired By Greatness

The new 706 S3 speakers’ curved cabinet baffle and individual drive unit pods are inspired by the 800 Series Diamond, and greatly reduce cabinet coloration, ensuring a cleaner, more immersive sound.
