Designed for Smaller Spaces: Bowers & Wilkins HTM72 S3 Center-Channel Speaker Plays with Pristine Clarity
The Bowers & Wilkins HTM72 S3 is a compact center-channel speaker that delivers pristine sonics and standout performance. It is ideal for incorporating into an entertainment system with B&W 700 Series speakers, especially if you have a smaller listening space. HTM72 S3 features a 1-inch Carbon Dome tweeter and dual 5-inch Continuum cone Mid/Bass drivers, which can provide an immersive experience with detailed soundstaging. Measuring 6.5" x 18.8" x 11.9" (HWD) and weighing 21.3 pounds, this two-way speaker offers spectacular performance that belies its size.
Carbon Dome tweeters are purpose-built for the B&W 700 Series. Offering a dramatic improvement over the aluminum double dome tweeter, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and rich, nuanced detail.
Due 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.
The HTM72 S3 also has a rear-firing Flowport, engineered to reduce friction and improve efficiency. And if you want to tweak your sound, you can dial in the perfect bass responsiveness by inserting the supplied two-piece foam plug into the port (located on the back of the cabinet).
A removable magnetic grille and dual gold-plated binding-post terminals reflect the company's commitment to premium construction and aesthetic appeal. This exceptional speaker comes with a five-year manufacturer warranty. Contact a Music Direct audio consultant if you have any questions about building an entertainment system, or about selecting the appropriate center-channel speaker for your setup.
