Honed. Perfected.\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe HTM71 S3 Signature arrives as a first-of-its-kind Signature center channel speaker. Designed predominantly for use in home theatres, the HTM71 S3 Signature delivers exceptional vocal realism to any movie-watching experience. It features optimized technologies, such as Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ proprietary decoupled Continuum midrange drive unit and Tweeter-on-Top, plus upgraded bass motor systems, improved capacitors, revised speaker terminals, and a more open tweeter grille mesh, as developed for their 800 Series Signature loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSolid Body Tweeter\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe 700 Series Signature models feature the latest generation of Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ iconic Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing. Its new, more elongated form incorporates a longer tube-loading system to produce an even more free and open sound with high frequencies.  The carefully decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminum to better resist resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCarbon Dome Tweeter\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon Dome tweeters are purpose-built for the 700 Series. Delivering a dramatic improvement on older generations of tweeter dome technologies, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eBiomimetic Suspension\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes, making a big difference takes unconventional thinking. The transition from Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ famous yellow Aramid Fiber midrange cones to their Continuum cone technology resulted in a massive improvement to midrange performance. Now, they’ve turned their attention to another crucial element in a loudspeaker cone: the fabric spider. The new Biomimetic Suspension revolutionizes midrange cone performance by greatly reducing the unwanted air pressure and coloration that a conventional fabric spider can generate. The result? Midrange transparency you wouldn’t believe possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eContinuum™ Cone\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its composite construction, the Continuum™ cone avoids the abrupt transitions in behavior that can impair the performance of a conventional drive unit. The result is a more open, neutral performance that delivers voices and instruments with precision and transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eUpgraded Crossovers\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe new 700 Series Signature models use upgraded crossover designs crafted by Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ expert engineers. Developed using rigorous testing, their engineers carefully optimize these crossovers to perfection, to maximize the loudspeakers’ performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAerofoil™ Profile Bass Cone\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped using advanced computer modelling techniques, the Aerofoil™ Profile bass cone has variable thickness, providing stiffness and rigidity where it’s needed most. The result is deep and dynamic bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCurved Baffle\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe new 700 Series Signature models feature a curved front baffle. This allows the midrange and bass drivers to be located in individual pod-type housings that sit proud of the speaker baffle. When combined with the curvature of the structure, this new approach – derived from the 800 Series Diamond – reduces the audible impact of the cabinet, creating a cleaner, more open and more immersive sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bowers \u0026 Wilkins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50831186034905,"sku":"180869","price":3650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1123\/6098\/files\/1_e82bf6d6-f907-4d07-97da-c6fe81150899.jpg?v=1793049212","url":"https:\/\/skybygramophone.com\/products\/bowers-wilkins-htm71-s3-signature-3-way-center-channel-speaker-midnight-blue-metallic","provider":"GRAMOPHONE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
