The new 700 Series
Studio sound comes home Bring the breathtaking clarity and definition of studio sound home with the new 700 Series. Replacing the CM Series, the range combines studio-grade 800 Series Diamond technologies with purpose-built innovations to elevate home audio to an entirely new level. And all this from room-friendly cabinets designed to fit beautifully into your home environment. The new 700 Series. Inspired by recording studios. Made for living rooms.
702 S2 Featuring a Carbon Dome tweeter in a solid-body housing and a decoupled Continuum midrange, the 700 Series’ flagship floorstander brings studio-quality sound to your home audio set up. The speaker relays textural details with goosebump-inducing accuracy, making even largescale recordings sound stunningly lifelike.
705 S2 With state of the art features such as the tweeter-ontop design borrowed from the 800 Series Diamond, this uncompromising high performance two-way speaker reveals subtle nuances in music others miss. Even challenging instruments such as the piano are conveyed with uncanny realism, presence and transparency.
03 S2 A substantial, uncompromising three-way floorstander built to fill even the largest rooms with full-blooded, realistic sound. Powerful bass lines come roaring to life, while the speaker’s dedicated Continuum midrange driver and Carbon Dome tweeter lend an astonishing clarity to vocals and treble effects.
704 S2 A slim, elegant floorstander designed to blend unobtrusively into your home environment, while providing the commanding presence of a much larger speaker. Music is a revelation, with details picked out in pin-sharp detail and with exceptional realism.
706 S2 The 706 is a bookshelf/standmount speaker with the acoustic heft to satisfy the demands of bigger rooms, thanks to its large midrange/bass drive unit. The speaker provides real musical insight into recordings, with details and spaciousness preserved intact.
707 S2 Small speaker, big sound. Ideal for smaller rooms, and designed for use on bookshelf or stand, the 707 produces tremendous highs and depths for a compact unit. Its twoway design and advanced drive units make for a sound that’s clear, powerful and remarkably cohesive.
Home Cinema HTM71 This large three-way centre-channel speaker delivers unprecedented power and transparency, for totally convincing voice reproduction. It’s designed to be paired with larger speakers in the range, such as the 703 floorstanders. HTM72 This high performance two-way centre speaker is a great choice for home cinema set-ups in smaller rooms, where space is at a premium. Partner it up with the more compact 700 Series speakers, such as the 706 or the 704.
In leading recording studios, music that will soon be heard everywhere is heard first through Bowers & Wilkins speakers. “Bowers & Wilkins speakers are the only speakers I have found that enable me to accurately listen to how the original performance has been recorded.” Peter Cobbin, producer and sound engineer. Recent feature film work includes Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Doctor Strange and Alien: Covenant.
From artist to listener A great speaker does more than allow you to hear music. It acts as a bridge – a way to close the divide between listener and performance. Listen to 700 Series speakers, and music feels alive. You discover details you never noticed before. You can place every instrument, every note, every intake of breath, with flawless accuracy. You can sense the emotion in the room. Suddenly, you’re no longer just listening to a recorded performance.
Sound notes Lou Reed The Raven Vanishing Act Macy Gray Stripped Annabelle “Beautifully recorded (in a decommissioned Brooklyn Church), this live set has realism and insight to burn. The textural details, most notably in the guitar, are just superb.” Deadmau5 While (1<2) Seeya, featuring Colleen D’Agostino “Syncing ferociously powerful electro-bass with a real-life bass guitar, this taut, hammering progressive house monster is a great tester for the range’s three-way loudspeakers.
Technology The 700 Series is an entirely new range of speakers. Compared with the outgoing CM Series, every transducer has changed and radically improved. To do this, we’ve borrowed some of the most advanced technologies from our flagship 800 Series Diamond, adapting them to suit a more attainable price point. And we’ve introduced entirely new technologies, designed specifically for this range.
Solid body tweeter The 705 and 702 speakers employ solid body tweeters, a highperformance design feature found previously only on the 800 Series Diamond. Its acoustically optimised form is milled from a solid block of aluminium, forming a structure that’s exceptionally inert and resistant to resonances. Carbon Dome™ tweeter Carbon Dome tweeters are a brand new technology purpose-built for the 700 Series.
Midrange chassis The three floor-standing loudspeakers in the range employ a new FEA-optimised aluminium chassis for the midrange drivers. This new design is stiffer than the zinc chassis of the CM Series, for improved control and cleaner midrange presentation. Aerofoil™ Profile cone The new Aerofoil Profile bass cone has the same variable thickness design as the bass cones in 800 Series Diamond speakers.
Engineering is beautiful Designers often argue that a product’s functional and aesthetic qualities are closely related. We couldn’t agree more. In fact, the solid body tweeter on top of the 705 and 702 speakers is a case in point. It’s an object engineered first and foremost for acoustic performance. But in its minimal simplicity, it’s also undeniably beautiful. It’s a philosophy that runs deep in the DNA of the 700 Series. A speaker range that’s music to your ears. And very easy on your eyes.
Specifications Finishes The range comes in a choice of three finishes to match your home environment: Gloss Black, Satin White or Rosenut.
