B&W 706 S3 Bookshelf Speakers in Black

Say hello to the Stunning 706 S3

Proudly brought to you by Bowers & Wilkins

Thanks to 706 S3’s 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 is the ideal stand-mount loudspeaker for delivering exceptional sound in larger spaces.

Sharper detail

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.

Truly amazing sound

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.

Inspired by greatness

The new 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.

The Bowers & Wilkins Story

The story of Bowers & Wilkins starts with one man – John Bowers. His drive and passion are written into the DNA of the company he founded over 50 years ago. Bowers dreamed of producing the perfect loudspeaker – of delivering recorded sound that is utterly faithful to the live performance and to the artist’s original intent.

B&W’s dedication to audio excellence compels them to design, develop and manufacture as many of the components that go into their products as they possibly can – because only that way can they be confident that they’ll achieve the performance and quality they demand from everything they do, whatever the product category.

For B&W, it’s a love affair rooted in the very fabric of music and film sound. For decades, Bowers & Wilkins loudspeakers have been the trusted choice of studio professionals and recording artists the world over, from Abbey Road Studios to Skywalker Sound.

Today, B&W produce an extensive range of quality audio visual products from speakers to subwoofers, headphones to soundbars. No matter what sort of sound reproduction you’re after, Bowers & Wilkins probably have the perfect product for you.
