About The Bowers & Wilkins 707 S3 Stand Mount Speakers
Like any compact Bowers & Wilkins two way, the 707 S3 excels on the matching FS 700 S3 stand, but it's also a superlative bookshelf loudspeaker. Its compact, space friendly design makes it easy to accommodate in smaller spaces, but thanks to its Carbon Dome tweeter, Continuum cone mid-bass driver and curved baffle, this outstanding loudspeaker provides proof positive than often, size can be deceptive.
Carbon Dome Tweeters: Carbon Dome tweeters are purpose-built for the 700 Series. Delivering a dramatic improvement on the aluminium double dome tweeter, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail.
Continuum™ Cone: Thanks to its composite construction, the 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.
Curved Baffle: The 700 S3 range features a curved front baffle for the first time. This allows the midrange and bass drivers to be located in individual pod-type housings that sit proud of the speaker baffle. When combined with the curvature of the structure, this advanced approach – derived from the 800 Series Diamond – reduces the audible impact of the cabinet, creating a cleaner, more open and more immersive sound.

Our Take On The Bowers & Wilkins 707 S3 Speakers
The 707 S3 is definitely on the small and cuddly end of the speaker spectrum. But that doesn't mean it's not a serious transducer. It's just meant for smaller spaces and tight spots. Naturally, you can use it to great effect on the matching FS 700 S3 stands but the 707 is equally at home on a bookshelf or cabinet. You'll be surprised by this speaker, because it can really rock and if you want a little more low end oomph then careful positioning to make good use of the rear bass port is recommended. If that still doesn't quite do it for you a small subwoofer or two will definitely give you your bass jollies. We recommend good quality electronics to get the best from these charmingly compact speakers and you can see some of our suggestions below. For people with a smaller space to fill or a tight spot to mount speakers but who want the spacious 700 series sound, the Bowers & Wilkins 707 S3 could be just the ticket.
