Bowers & Wilkins makes some of the finest speakers around for use in either the professional studio or the home. There’s a very good reason one of its models was chosen as the official loudspeaker of legendary recording studio Abbey Road.

Now’s your chance to experience the studios themselves courtesy of Bowers & Wilkins. All you have to do is answer the question at the bottom of this page about the brand’s 700 Series.

But first, what makes the 700 Series so compelling?

Striking designs, superlative performance

Defined by elegance and driven by performance, the 700 Series merges Bowers & Wilkins’ most advanced technologies with beautiful design and svelte proportions. It’s engineered for one purpose: to bring studio-quality sound seamlessly into your home.

With eight loudspeaker models to choose from in the 700 Series, it’s the most extensive of all Bowers & Wilkins’ speaker ranges.

These include the floorstanding 702 S3, 703 S3 and 704 S3, which are perfect for larger listening rooms and home theatres, the stand-mount 705 S3, 706 S3, and bookshelf 707 S3, which deliver exceptional sound from compact designs. It also includes two centre channel models – the HTM71 S3 and HTM72 S3 – which add even more clarity and detail to your home cinema setup.

What’s even more impressive than their striking designs is the performance. Each model in the series is crafted with technologies engineered for Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship 800 Series Diamond range – known globally as Abbey Road’s loudspeaker of choice – but made more accessible. When you listen to the 700 Series, you’re experiencing iconic, studio-level performance at home. Many of the technologies used to monitor, record, and master some of the world’s most famous music and movie scores are now in front of you, playing them back to you at your command, and right in your own home.
