With a Kevlar cone for the mids and bass and a metal dome tweeter for the high frequencies, this speaker offers balanced and detailed sound. The enclosure is designed with the Matrix bracing system, which minimizes internal resonances and ensures a tight bass response. The tweeter is placed on top of the cabinet, contributing to a spacious soundstage. For optimal performance, the 803 Matrix S1 can be combined with a Bass Alignment Filter, which further refines low frequencies. With its timeless design and high-quality finish, this speaker fits into a variety of interiors. Suitable for both stereo and home theater setups, the 803 Matrix S1 offers an immersive listening experience.      <\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"specification-item row-even\"><span class=\"spec-content\"><strong>Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"specification-item row-odd\"><span class=\"spec-content\"><\/p>\n<p>Bowers &amp; Wilkins, founded in 1966 by John Bowers and Roy Wilkins, began in the English town of Worthing. The company grew out of Bowers&#8217; passion for sound engineering, which he developed while working in an electronics store. John Bowers was a perfectionist with a strong commitment to acoustic precision. In the years that followed, the company grew under Bowers&#8217; leadership, playing a central role until his death in 1987. The focus was on research and development, with the team bringing innovations in sound reproduction technology. After Bowers&#8217; death, the company took new directions under different owners.     <\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description Freakuence!
