This a video review of the Bowers & Wilkins 703 S3 loudspeaker — the most affordable floorstanding member of the 700 Series to feature the British company’s near-iconic tweeter-on-top where the one-inch carbon dome tweeter is housed in a aluminium tapered tube enclosure to sit on top of the main cabinet. These floorstanders also have a dedicated six-inch Continuum mid-range driver and two six and a half inch Aerofoil Profile bass drivers – augmented by a rear-firing reflex por – for a three-way implementation. My video review highlights the tall soundstaging of the 703 S3 and their almost non-descript bass (a compliment!). However, viewers should take note of the how the 703 S3’s in-room bass response goes much lower than B&W’s own -3dB rating of 46Hz and how the tweeter-on-top gives us audible qualities that I don’t get from the similarly-priced Zu Soul 6.
