All New Bowers And Wilkins 700 Series With 800 Diamond Tech Make A Beautiful Noise
/Introducing the new 700 series from Bowers and Wilkins. Our eyes are usually first to draw an opinion and we like what we see. Bowers & Wilkins have always had a reputation for creating some of the most undeniably beautiful and great sounding speakers on the planet i.e. Nautilus.
The brand new 700 series has not been neglected nor skipped in design or quality and should be enough to convert anyone who isn't a fan of 'big speakers'. B&W have ditched their distinctive yellow cone for a slicker silver and black one and they do look the business.
The 700 series cabinet is quality as always, shown here in gloss black but it is also available in satin white and rosewood finishes. The new range also utilises tech from the flagship 800 series, which is stocked at out our Cardiff branch. Most notable is the new carbon coated tweeter, similar to 800 series but at less cost. Aerofoil bass cones, were developed using a computer and which varies the thickness and gauge of the drive unit as the distance from the centre phase cone increases makes big improvements to bass response. Aerofoil tech is taken directly from the 800 series.
The B&W 703's are out on display and now in our demo room in Manchester.
B&W have developed a new mid drive unit using a patented technology called Continuum weave technique, which is very lightweight but also tough and it makes the mid driver very easy to manipulate when dealing with the break up of mid range frequencies.
Other notable changes, which again, stem from the 800 series include decoupling the mid range unit. Since mid range frequencies are what we are most receptive to, for example, vocals and talking, this is where we are going hear things that don't sound quite right, which is more commonly referred to in the Hi-Fi world as colouration. By decoupling the mid drive unit from the cabinet, which will be vibrating predominantly from lower frequencies, this isolates and drastically reduces any transient/ interfering harmonics generated by the other drive units, which results in a clearer sound quality.
Chromey is taking full advantage of the new floating drive unit in the 700 series. Chill out dude, chill out.
Our new 700 series is out on display and ready to demonstrate. Pop over to Audio T Manchester and take a look and listen.
