Looks can be deceiving. Despite its slim dimensions, the Bowers & Wilkins 704 S2 has the commanding presence of a much larger speaker, thanks to advanced technologies such as a dedicated Continuum™ cone FST™ midrange.
Featuring a Carbon Dome™ tweeter in a solid-body housing and adecoupled Continuum™ midrange, the 700 Series’ smallest floorstander brings studio-quality sound to your home audio set up. The speaker relays textural details with goosebump-inducing accuracy, making even large scale recordings sound stunningly lifelike. The elegant simplicity of the room-friendly cabinets compliment any living room or home cinema setting.
Carbon Dome™ tweeter
Carbon Dome tweeters are a brand new technology purpose-built for the 700 Series. Delivering a dramatic improvement on the aluminium double-dome tweeter, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail.
Continuum™ Cone
First introduced with the 800 Series Diamond, the Continuum cone represents the biggest step-change in midrange performance since Kevlar. Its woven, coated material provides highly controlled break-up, resulting in a more open, neutral midrange.
ecoupled midrange
The midrange driver in the floor-standers feature a decoupled design, adapted from a similar system in the 800 Series Diamond. Decoupling reduces cabinet colouration, and boosts midrange clarity.
Slim looks, big sound
With the 704, music is a revelation, with details picked out in pin-sharp detail and with exceptional realism.
