B&W 705 S3 Signature Midnight Blue

In the world of high fidelity, few names shine with the same constancy and prestige of the English manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins, and among the gems of its crown of sound excellence, stand out the last born, namely the bookshelf B&W 705 S3 Signature speakers.

These stand loudspeakers, elegant and demanding, embody the impeccable engineering legacy and uncompromising craftsmanship of B&W, and in fact, at the basis of their exclusive design there is a fusion of cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship.

The 705 S3 Signature then boasts high-quality loudspeakers, designed and built internally by B&W, which use carefully selected and refined materials to ensure extremely precise and detailed sound reproduction.

The attention to detail is evident not only in the external aspect, characterized by a special finish made specifically for this version, but also in their sound, which stands out for its deep and controlled bass, medium vivid and detailed, and high crystalline that stand out clearly over the entire sound range. And it is precisely this precision that allows the speakers to faithfully reproduce every musical nuance, from the delicacy of a solo voice to the dynamic explosion of a symphonic orchestra.

But what really distinguishes the 705 S3 Signature is their ability to immerse the listener in a three-dimensional sound experience, thanks to their carefully controlled sound dispersion and cabinet design technology, are able to create a wide and well defined sound stage, which brings listeners to the center of musical performance.

The merit of their performance is to be sought in advanced driver technologies, such as the 'on top' tweeter mounted on a separate module at the top of the speaker, to reduce interference with the midwoofer driver and improve sound dispersion. The latter then uses a 25mm carbon dome, designed to extend the frequency response and reduce the distortion, allowing it a more detailed reproduction of the high frequencies, bringing it very close to the performance level of the 800 series.

The 165 mm mid-woofer is equipped with B&W Continuum Cone technology, designed to ensure precise and well-defined sound throughout the medium frequency spectrum, drivers that are optimally managed by a crossover network consisting of selected elements such as Mundorf capacitors and optimized to ensure a smooth transition between the different drivers, improving overall sound consistency.
