The Bowers & Wilkins 702 S3 has undergone a major upgrade over the previous S2 version with improved aesthetics and a massive step up in sonic performance.702 S3’s Carbon Dome tweeter is housed in an all-new Solid Body Tweeter assembly, while with its new downward-firing port configuration and a trio of Aerofoil Profile bass cones, it delivers bass that’s both profoundly deep and endlessly articulate.
