Bowers & Wilkins HTM3S 3-Way Closed-Box System

The HTM3S is the larger of the two centre speakers that feature our improved aluminium dome tweeter. The HTM3S also features two 165mm (6.5 in) Rohacell® cone bass drivers in a symmetrical arrangement with a central Kevlar® cone FST™ midrange driver.

Centre speakers are of huge importance in home theatre installations. They should be well voice matched to the left and right speakers to ensure consistency of sounds panning across the stage and should exhibit great clarity and detail for that crucial task of reproducing speech. The HTM3S amply fulfils these requirements when partnered with either the 803S or 804S at front left and right, by using a similar complement of drive units and the same quality approach to crossover design.

The HTM3S can be mounted on a shelf or the purpose designed FS-HTM floor stand.
