Bowers & Wilkins 3-Way Center Channel Speaker 700 Series HTM71 S3 Signature in Midnight Blue Metallic (Each) - FP43591

Bowers & Wilkins FP43591 3-Way Center Channel Speaker 700 Series HTM71 S3 Signature in Midnight Blue Metallic (Each)

The HTM71 S3 Signature arrives as a first-of-itskind Signature centre channel speaker. Designed predominantly for use in home theatres, the HTM71 S3 Signature delivers exceptional vocal realism to any movie-watching experience. It features optimised technologies, such as our proprietary decoupled Continuum midrange drive unit and Tweeter-on-Top, plus upgraded bass motor systems, improved capacitors, revised speaker terminals, and a more open tweeter grille mesh, as developed for our 800 Series Signature loudspeakers.

Features

• Solid Body Tweeter
  The 700 Series Signature models feature the latest generation of our iconic Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing. Its new, more elongated form incorporates a longer tube-loading system to produce an even more free and open sound with high frequencies. The carefully decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminium to better resist resonance.
• Carbon Dome tweeter
  Carbon Dome tweeters are purpose-built for the 700 Series. Delivering a dramatic improvement on older generations of tweeter dome technologies, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail.
• Biomimetic Suspension
  Sometimes, making a big difference takes unconventional thinking. The transition from our famous yellow Aramid Fiber midrange cones to our Continuum cone technology resulted in a massive improvement to midrange performance. Now, we’ve turned our attention to another crucial element in a loudspeaker cone: the fabric spider. The new Biomimetic Suspension revolutionises midrange cone performance by greatly reducing the unwanted air pressure and coloration that a conventional fabric spider can generate. The result? Midrange transparency you wouldn’t believe possible.
• Continuum cone
  Thanks to its composite construction, the Continuum cone avoids the abrupt transitions in behavior 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.
• Upgraded crossovers
  The new 700 Series Signature models use upgraded crossover designs crafted by our expert engineers. Developed using rigorous testing, Bowers & Wilkins’ engineers carefully optimise these crossovers to perfection, to maximise the loudspeakers’ performance.
• Aerofoil Profile bass cone
  Developed using advanced computer modelling techniques, the Aerofoil Profile bass cone has variable thickness, providing stiffness and rigidity where it’s needed most. The result is deep and dynamic bass.
• Curved baffle
  The new 700 Series Signature models feature a curved front baffle. This allows the midrange and bass drivers to be located in individual pod-type housings that sit proud of the speaker baffle. When combined with the curvature of the structure, this new approach – derived from the 800 Series Diamond – reduces the audible impact of the cabinet, creating a cleaner, more open and more immersive sound.
• Elegant Finishes
  700 Series Signature looks as beautiful as it sounds. With the choice of two luxurious finishes, Midnight Blue Metallic paint or Datuk Gloss wood veneer, each model complements exceptional performance with elegant design.
