Bowers & Wilkins HTM72 S3 Centre Speaker Hi all, moving on this cracking little centre speaker as I was presented with a chance to upgrade to another unit.The HTM72 S3 has the typical vocal clarity you expect of a B&W product with a pretty decent bass output to match.All specs can be found at the Bowers and Wilkins website.It’s in excellent shape with no visible marks or scratches.I still have the original box and shipping is included in the sale price. Otherwise pickup is available from Winston Hills, NSW.Looking for a quick sale so send me an offer!Feel free to ask if any questions. Conditio
The timing is good if this is the S2 generation rather than the older S1, because it’s the current-design 700 Series centre before the S3 refresh; that makes the listing feel relevant rather than dated. At A$750, it looks strongly priced for an excellent-condition HTM72, sitting well below the kind of new-in-store pricing typically seen for this model family and squarely in bargain territory for a clean centre speaker.
This is a worthwhile buy because the HTM72 is well regarded for clear dialogue, good tonal match with B&W 700-series bookshelves/standmounts, and a compact footprint that suits smaller rooms. If the rest of the system is B&W 700 Series, the value is especially good. On a clean listing like this, the main thing to confirm is matching finish and that the grille, terminals, and driver surrounds are all original and intact; otherwise, this reads as a solid pick-up rather than a risk.

Bowers & Wilkins traces its origins to 1966 in Worthing, West Sussex, England, when John Bowers, a passionate audio enthusiast and former electronics shop owner, founded the company with the help of a £10,000 bequest from a satisfied customer, Miss Knight. Bowers, who had honed his speaker-building skills as a hobby while running a radio and TV rental shop with partner Roy Wilkins, launched the venture from the back of that very shop. This modest beginning fueled a relentless pursuit of audio perfection, establishing Bowers & Wilkins as a British icon in high-fidelity sound reproduction.
The brand excels in premium loudspeakers, from flagship studio monitors like the legendary 801 series—adopted by Abbey Road Studios in 1979—to accessible Domestic Monitor lines such as the enduring 600 Series. Its portfolio has expanded to encompass high-end headphones, including the iconic P5 and Zeppelin designs, alongside wireless speakers and formation systems, all emphasizing advanced driver technology, precision cabinetry, and Continuum cones for unparalleled clarity.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Bowers & Wilkins commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its engineering excellence, musical accuracy, and heritage of innovation. Far from mid-tier or niche, it rivals the elite, blending cutting-edge research from facilities like Steyning with a reputation for reference-grade performance that defines luxury hi-fi.
