About The Denon PMA-1700NE B&W 706 S3 Stereo System
Sophisticated doesn't have to mean elaborate. Spacious enveloping sound doesn't have to mean large and room intruding. This compact system certainly proves that. It oozes sophistication, looks a million dollars and sounds wonderful.
Here we have the competent Denon PMA-1700NE Stereo Integrated Amplifier which sports a healthy 70 Watts into 8 Ohms and a substantial 140 Watts into 4 Ohms. It can accommodate a turntable with either a moving magnet or moving coil cartridge which is unusual for an integrated and it also has optical digital inputs so you can hook up you flat screen television and watch your preferred content with great sound.
Talking of sound, it's produced by the wonderful Bowers & Wilkins 706 S3 speakers which are not big enough to intrude on domestic harmony but are definitely large enough to produce big, rich, room filling sound. These speakers are not just a pleasure to listen to they are also a visual feast for the eyes with their subtle curves and top flight cabinet finishing.
Together, this Denon amp and B&W speakers form a killer little system that need make no apologies. Make sure you check this sweet system out at your earliest convenience.

Bowers & Wilkins 706 S3 Bookshelf/Stand Mount Speakers
The 706 S3 is an outstanding stand mount loudspeaker for use in larger spaces. Thanks to its decoupled Carbon Dome tweeter and carefully upgraded crossover, it provides exceptional detail and insight into your music, while its substantial 165mm (6.5") Continuum Cone bass/midrange drive unit provides ample scale and extension. Like its 705 S3 sibling, it performs at its best on the optional FS700 S3 stand.
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.
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.
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.
