S3 Signature Series

Building on a long history of successful Signature Series releases, Bowers & Wilkins have brought to bear their extreme attention to detail and unbridled creativity to upgrade the HTM71 S3 center channel loudspeaker. The following list are the improvements and unique features you'll enjoy by selecting an HTM71 S3 Signature:

• Tweeter grilles trimmed with a gold-colored diamond-cut bezel, and a more open mesh design that is normally found in the B& W 800 Series Signature line
• A cabinet with multiple coatings of paint and lacquer for a rich an lustrous finish, along with metal components finished in a satin black
• New Mundorf EVO Silver Gold Oil capacitor with Angelique wire lead-outs for improved mid and high frequencies
• New Bevenbi MPAZ-E polypropylene capacitors with zinc foil for enhanced mid frequencies
• New air-core inductors of low-frequency drive units
• Upgraded poles on mid- and low-frequency motor systems with larger venting and lower inductance
• New brass speaker terminal posts for cleaner signal paths
• Bypass capacitors reconfigured and located in series with each other and each board

Tweeter-on-Top

The 1" decoupled carbon dome tweeter is featured in a tweeter-on-top design, housed in a frame that's been milled from a single block of aluminum for better resistance to resonance. With the HTM71 S3, the tweeter now utilizes a carbon dome, which raises the breakup threshold to 47 kHz, further improving the accuracy of higher frequencies.

Continuum Cone Midrange

The 6" midrange driver incorporates a composite construction that does not hinder the speaker's performance. Four Bowers & Wilkins technologies are employed to ensure clean and neutral vocals and instrument representation, without interference from the woofers. The four technologies used are a Continuum cone, FST, biomimetic suspension, and midrange decoupling.
