Bowers & Wilkins FP38849 702 S2 Floorstanding Speaker - Gloss Black delivers the goosebump-inducing clarity of studio-quality sound to your home. As the flagship floorstander of the 700 Series, the 702 S2 carries technologies trickled down from the reference 800 Series Diamond — a Solid Body Carbon Dome tweeter-on-top, a decoupled Continuum cone midrange, and three Aerofoil Profile bass drivers — to reveal subtle nuances in music, movies, and television that other speakers miss. (Sold individually.)

Solid Body Carbon Dome Tweeter

Solid Body Carbon Dome Tweeter

Milled from a solid block of aluminum, the Solid Body Tweeter housing creates an acoustically optimized enclosure that is exceptionally inert and resistant to resonances. The Carbon Dome tweeter, purpose-built for the 700 Series, raises the breakup threshold to 47kHz for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail.

Continuum Cone FST Midrange

Continuum Cone FST Midrange

First introduced with the 800 Series Diamond, the decoupled 6-inch Continuum cone delivers the biggest step-change in midrange performance since Kevlar. Its woven, coated material provides highly controlled break-up for an open, neutral midrange where voices and instruments arrive with purity and precision.

Aerofoil Profile Bass with Flowport

Aerofoil Profile Bass with Flowport

Three computer-modeled Aerofoil Profile bass cones use variable thickness to provide stiffness and rigidity exactly where it's needed, for deep and dynamic bass. Bowers & Wilkins' Flowport technology vents the bass-reflex enclosure through a rear-firing, dimpled port that delivers natural low-end response.

Studio Technology, Built to Match

Studio Technology, Built to Match

Defined by elegance and driven by performance, the 700 Series is inspired by recording studios and made for living rooms. The 702 S2 is voice-matched to other 700 Series models — pair it with 705 S2 or 706 S2 bookshelf speakers and the HTM71 S2 center channel to build a seamless surround-sound system.
