For decades, Bowers & Wilkins’ 700 Series has brought trickle‑down technology from the company’s flagship speakers into more accessible designs. The new 707 S3 Prestige Edition takes that approach a step further by adding bespoke craftsmanship to its compact bookshelf model. Built on the standard 707 S3 platform, the Prestige Edition wraps the cabinet in a Santos Gloss veneer that’s finished with twelve layers of paint and lacquer and capped off with a special logo plate.

Underneath the polish, the speaker retains the 707 S3’s two‑way architecture featuring a decoupled Carbon Dome tweeter and a Continuum cone bass/midrange driver. B&W has also upgraded the tweeter grille mesh for improved dispersion and borrowed the low‑loss speaker terminals from the 705 S3 Signature, which collectively promise greater resolution and a wider soundstage.

The 707 S3 Prestige offers a frequency range of 45Hz–33kHz, a frequency response of 50Hz–28kHz (±3 dB) and a sensitivity of 84dB; nominal impedance is 8 ohms with a minimum of 4 ohms. Recommended amplifier power ranges from 30 to 100 watts. The cabinet measures roughly 300 × 165 × 247mm and weighs 6.2-kilograms per speaker.

Although the driver complement is unchanged, the cosmetic and terminal upgrades push the Prestige Edition into boutique territory. It’s priced at €1,750 or £1,550 per pair and will be available starting 21 January 2026. Fans of B&W’s limited runs will recall how the 700 Series Signature models added performance refinements and premium finishes to an already accomplished line. If you’re curious about how these upgrades translate into everyday listening, our coverage of other audiophile gear examines similar attention to detail.
