Bowers & Wilkins HTM71 S2 surround speakers

Bowers & Wilkins HTM71 S2 surround speaker

A large high performance centre channel loudspeaker with two bass drivers and a FST™ Continuum™ cone midrange driver.

Carbon dome tweeters have been specially developed for the 700 Series. They make a huge improvement on the aluminium twin dome tweeter, raising the resolution threshold to 47 kHz and delivering precise imaging and hair-splitting detail.

The silky, accurate Continuum™ cone midrange driver reproduces voices and instruments with clarity and precision.

Developed using advanced computer modelling techniques, the Aerofoil™ profile bass membrane is designed with different thicknesses to provide stiffness and strength where it is most needed. The result: deep and dynamic bass.
