A 6.5-inch Continuum cone bass\/midrange driver sits below it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tweeter housing is milled from a single block of aluminium and decoupled from the cabinet, and the Carbon Dome raises the breakup threshold to 47kHz. The bass\/midrange driver sits in a new 'pod' housing on a subtly curved baffle, and a Flowport vent handles the low end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB\u0026amp;W rates the 705 S3 at 50Hz to 28kHz (±3dB), with a range of 45Hz to 33kHz, 88dB sensitivity, and an 8-ohm nominal load, suited to amplifiers from 30W to 120W.

B\u0026amp;W designed it mainly for the FS-700 S3 stand and recommends the tweeters sit at roughly ear height. The terminals support bi-wiring or bi-amping once the links are removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMore Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy the Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins 705 S3 Stands Out\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eSolid Body Tweeter-on-Top\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn elongated housing milled from a single block of aluminium and decoupled from the cabinet, with longer tube-loading for a free, open top end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eDecoupled Carbon Dome Tweeter\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurpose-built for the 700 Series, B\u0026amp;W's Carbon Dome tweeter raises the breakup threshold to 47kHz for pinpoint imaging and detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003e6.5-Inch Continuum Cone in a Pod Housing\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Continuum bass\/midrange sits in a new 'pod' housing on a subtly curved baffle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eFlowport with Foam Plugs\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied foam plugs fit the port to reduce bass on a shelf or near a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eBi-Wire and Bi-Amp Terminals\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove the terminal links to bi-wire or bi-amp; B\u0026amp;W notes bi-wiring can improve the resolution of low-level detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eDesigned for the FS-700 S3 Stand\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB\u0026amp;W designed it mainly for its FS-700 S3 floor stand, with shelf placement possible using the supplied foam plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuyer's Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Stereo Listener:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wants Tweeter-on-Top performance on stands rather than towers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Home Theatre Builder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wants 700 Series fronts or surrounds for a home theatre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Bi-Wire Enthusiast:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wants terminals ready for bi-wiring or bi-amplification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 705 S3 is the 700 Series stand-mount with Tweeter-on-Top.
