Bowers & Wilkins 707 S3 Bookshelf Speakers - (Pair)
Overview
The Bowers & Wilkins 707 S3 is a compact two-way 700 Series bookshelf speaker that B&W says is easy to accommodate in smaller spaces. It pairs a Decoupled Carbon Dome tweeter with a 5-inch Continuum cone bass/midrange driver on a curved baffle.
The Carbon Dome tweeter, purpose-built for the 700 Series, raises the breakup threshold to 47kHz, and the Continuum cone avoids the abrupt transitions of conventional cones for open, neutral voices. A Flowport vent handles the low end.
B&W rates the 707 S3 at 50Hz to 28kHz (±3dB), with a range of 45Hz to 33kHz, 84dB sensitivity, and an 8-ohm nominal load (minimum 4.0 ohms), suited to amplifiers from 30W to 100W. Stands are sold separately.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
The 707 S3 is the smallest 700 Series stand-mount, at 300 mm tall and 165 mm wide. B&W designed it mainly for the FS-700 S3 stand; on a shelf or close to a wall, the supplied foam plugs keep the bass in check. The terminals support bi-wiring or bi-amping once the links are removed.

Why the Bowers & Wilkins 707 S3 Stands Out
Decoupled Carbon Dome Tweeter
Purpose-built for the 700 Series, B&W's Carbon Dome tweeter raises the breakup threshold to 47kHz for pinpoint imaging and detail.
5-Inch Continuum Cone Driver
A Continuum bass/midrange that avoids the abrupt transitions of conventional cones.
Curved Baffle
A curved front baffle in a cabinet sized for smaller spaces.
Flowport with Foam Plugs
Supplied foam plugs fit the port to reduce bass on a shelf or near a wall.
Bi-Wire and Bi-Amp Terminals
Remove the terminal links to bi-wire or bi-amp; B&W notes bi-wiring can improve the resolution of low-level detail.
Designed for the FS-700 S3 Stand
B&W designed it mainly for its FS-700 S3 floor stand, with shelf placement possible using the supplied foam plugs.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Small-Space Listener: Wants 700 Series sound in a smaller room.
- The Home Theatre Builder: Wants compact 700 Series surrounds.
- The Bi-Wire Enthusiast: Wants terminals ready for bi-wiring or bi-amplification.
How It Compares
The 707 S3 is the compact 700 Series stand-mount; the 706 S3 steps up to a 6.5-inch Continuum cone for larger spaces. B&W's 607 S3 also uses a 5-inch Continuum cone, with a Titanium Dome tweeter.
