The new 700 Signature Series from Bowers & Wilkins reveals a depth and detail that normal speakers struggle to reproduce. All this thanks to innovations originally developed for the most prestigious models, such as those of the 800 Diamond Series, combined with new technologies developed specifically for this range.
There's much more to the new 700 Signature Series than just aesthetics. With their clean lines, high-quality finish and lack of superfluous detail, these are among the most elegant speakers Bowers & Wilkins has ever made.
Beneath the surface are technologies that set new performance standards in home environments, revealing details and nuances that are unprecedented in models of this class. You won't believe how wonderful your music can sound.
The 705 Signature two-way speaker, suitable for placement on floor stands, ensures the highest performance in the range, with recording studio technologies capable of offering impeccable audio quality. This component is combined with a powerful 165 mm woofer/midrange with Continuum membrane for a sound result characterized by an incredibly realistic stereo image and a spaciousness that is uncommon in speakers of this category.
The B&W 705 Signature speakers are equipped with a 25mm decoupled tweeter with Carbon Dome™ carbon dome and offer decidedly high performance, with a notable increase in the breakup frequency, which reaches up to 47 kHz, for a more precise and detailed image.
The use of the Continuum™ Cone, first introduced in the 800 Diamond Series and used in the new 700 Signature Series, represents a significant improvement over Kevlar® in midrange performance. The unique fabric and coating used ensure perfect control of breakup, resulting in midrange drivers capable of producing a more open and neutral sound.
The new 700 Series Signature is finished in a premium Datuk Gloss veneer, achieved through multiple layers of lacquer polish. The resulting hues give a sense of depth and luxury, with rich grain patterns on multiple levels, characterizing each speaker as aopera of unique art.
