Description :
The 803 S3 is a floor standing speaker in the 800 Series3. The finish is black B&W Matrix 800 series loudspeaker were used throughout the 80's and 90's as a reference monitor to master the majority of the world's classical recordings. The Matrix 802 S3 utilizes two 8" Cobex bass drivers, a 5" Kevlar midrange, and a 1" metal dome tweeter. Each driver is mounted in its own optimized enclosure to dramatically reduce diffraction and undesirable resonant behavior. The ported bass enclosure is braced with B&W's exclusive Matrix cabinetry. The midrange housing is made of "Fibercrete", a composite of fiberglass and concrete. The metal-dome tweeter sits atop the speaker to completely eliminate cabinet interference. Separate crossover boards for bass and mid/high-range-frequencies eliminate any interaction between different frequency components.
