The Bowers & Wilkins 706 S3 is a premium bookshelf speaker designed for larger rooms.

It boasts impressive technology to deliver exceptional audio quality.

Here's a closer look at its key features:

  • Carbon Dome tweeters: These tweeters are designed to produce clear and accurate high frequencies, even at high volumes. They are constructed with a special diaphragm material that is extremely stiff and light, which helps to minimize distortion.
  • Continuum mid-range drivers: These drivers are made from a unique composite material that is designed to deliver natural-sounding mids. The Continuum cone is said to be more rigid and better damped than traditional Kevlar cones, resulting in a smoother and more detailed sound.
  • Minimized cabinet resonance: The speaker cabinets are constructed from a rigid and inert material that helps to minimize unwanted vibrations. These vibrations can color the sound and reduce its clarity, but the Bowers & Wilkins design helps to ensure that the sound you hear is as accurate as possible.

Overall, the Bowers & Wilkins 706 S3 is a well-regarded bookshelf speaker that is designed to deliver high-quality audio in larger rooms. Its combination of advanced technology and thoughtful design makes it a compelling option for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.
