Bowers & Wilkins HTM71 S3 White Semi Matt

Bowers & Wilkins HTM71 S3 - The Flagship Center Speaker

The flagship center speaker, the Bowers & Wilkins HTM71 S3 features a carbon dome chassis in a tweeter-on-top enclosure.
This makes it a perfect match for the 705 S3, 703 S3 and 702 S3 models. This approach provides excellent integration and an even more immersive listening experience for the premium 700 S3 Series surround systems.
The Bowers & Wilkins HTM71 S3 also features an all-new 130mm (5in) Continuum Cone FST™ midrange driver with biomimetic suspension. This innovation is critical not only for music but also for movies.

Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top

The new solid body tweeter-on-top enclosure has an extended shape with a longer tube system that provides an even freer and more open sound at high frequencies.

Carbon Dome Tweeter

The Carbon Dome tweeter is designed specifically for the 700 Series. It offers a dramatic improvement over the aluminum double dome tweeter. The imaging accuracy can thus be improved even further.

Biometric driver suspension

First used in the 800 Series Diamond, the Biomimetic midrange driver suspension now revolutionizes the performance of the 700 S3 Series. Technically, all superfluous material has been removed from the so-called spider inside.

Continuum midrange diaphragm

Thanks to its composite construction, the Continuum™ midrange avoids abrupt behavioral transitions that can affect the performance of a conventional midrange. The result is an open and neutral reproduction of voices and musical instruments.

Decoupled midrange

Each 700 S3 Series 3-way loudspeaker features a dedicated midrange cone with four Bowers & Wilkins technologies: the Continuum Membrane, FST™, Biomimetic Suspension and Midrange Decoupling, the latter ensuring minimal impact of the woofers on the midrange driver.

Aerofoil Profile Woofer.

Designed with advanced computer modeling techniques, the Aerofoil™ Profile bass diaphragm has a variable thickness, providing rigidity and strength where it is needed most. The result: deep and dynamic bass.

Curved baffle

For the first time, the 700 S3 Series features a curved front baffle. This allows the midrange and bass-midrange drivers to be housed in individual pod-like enclosures that rise above the baffle. Combined with the curvature of the baffle, this approach reduces the audible impact of the enclosure on the sound and creates a clearer, more open listening experience.
