Arcam AVR21 & Bowers & Wilkins 703 S3, 707 S3, HTM71 S3 & DB4S (Black)

Powerful, enveloping sound comes naturally to the Arcam AVR21. With enhanced processing technology, it’s better than ever.

Effortless power for cinematic sound
With multi-channel power up from 60 watts per channel (AVR11) to a mighty 90 watts, the AVR21 delivers smooth, effortless power. The 50% increase in power not only improves music and soundtrack dynamics but also fills larger rooms more easily. That extra drive comes in handy for less efficient speakers, too.

Processing for up to 16 channels for even more immersive sound
Another big upgrade with this AVR is the addition of processing for up to 16 channels. Add additional power amps and you’ll be able to decode Dolby Atmos and DTS:X signals, right up to 9.1.6 – enough for the largest home cinemas. For best results, pair with the Arcam PA410, PA240 or PA720 power amps.

Unique Dirac systems for sound that’s tailored to your room
Dirac Live room correction uses sophisticated technology to get the perfect sound for your room. Using a microphone and dedicated software, it takes multiple readings around your room, feeding the information back to the amplifier for a completely bespoke response (professional set-up recommended). You can take Dirac to the next level by upgrading to Dirac Live Bass Control*.

Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, DTS Virtual:X and Auro-3D
With support for the key digital surround sound formats, the AVR21 gives you more choice than ever. For fully immersive sound, Dolby Atmos is standard. Classic DTS:X is on board, as is DTS Virtual:X for 3D sound without all the speakers. Auro-3D, meanwhile, gives you the intensity of immersive, 3D sound, from all formats – including TV, gaming and music – without the need for Dolby or DTS encoding.

Ready for 8K TV and next-gen gaming
Featuring 8K compliant HDMI sockets, this Arcam AVR is ready for the next generation of TV and gaming. The amp passes through 8K/60Hz signals, ensuring you get the full benefit from your 8K TV and video source. The sockets are also compatible with 4K/120Hz signals. You’ll find these on the latest gaming consoles and, when combined with compatible games, they help reduce lag and promote smoother game play.

Supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+
As well as supporting 8K, the AVR21 also supports a wide range of High Dynamic Range video formats. These include Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. It also supports HDR10+, which enhances picture realism by sending dynamic Meta data to your TV. In short, whatever the format used by the film, game or stream, this Arcam supports it.

Audiophile components for class-leading sound quality
Using audiophile-grade components, the AVR21 delivers the quality to match the power and processing tech. At the heart of this Arcam AVR is a toroidal power supply. Unusual for an AV receiver, this type of power supply is more usually only found in high-end stereo amps. It helps the AVR deliver smooth, dynamic sound that works equally as well with music as movies. Other high–end components include the Dual ESS 9026PRO DACs with ESS reference voltage regulators. These ensure the most precise processing possible, giving exceptionally low levels of background noise for a high dynamic range.

Made for High Resolution music – including support for MQA and ROON Ready
More proof that the AVR21 is designed for music lovers comes from the wide range of High Resolution audio format support. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) – as used by TIDAL Masters – is compatible, and the Arcam is also ROON Ready. This status means it’s compatible with the award-winning ROON music player – including Hi-Res file playback.

Full networking control
With Ethernet, wi-fi and UPnP, it’s easy to connect to your network and get streaming content. Once connected, you can take advantage of a whole host of streaming options, including Google Chromecast, Apple AirPlay 2 and UPnP (Universal Plug ‘n Play). Link to your control app of choice and enjoy streaming music services, Internet Radio, Podcasts and even your stored music collection via the UPnP.

Built-in Chromecast
Featuring Google’s Chromecast, the AVR21 is perfect for music streaming. Working in conjunction with streaming services such as Spotify, Google Play and Deezer, this lets you hook up with your favourite music from your smartphone or tablet. With TuneIn, you also get access to a massive range of Internet radio and podcasts – all easily accessible.

MusicLife control app
Take full control of streaming music to your Arcam device with the MusicLife control app (available on Apple iOS devices, Android UPnP app also available). Working with the wireless system, it lets you stream music directly from your device as well as servers or computers connected via UPnP (Universal Plug n’ Play). The latest version brings Internet Radio, Podcasts plus streaming from TIDAL and Qobuz. Advanced features, such as library searching, sorting, shuffle and repeat playback are also catered for.

High quality Bluetooth aptX HD
Perfect for parties and when friends are over, Bluetooth provides quick and easy, wireless connectivity for your guests’ smartphone. Simply pair the device and stream any audio from the smartphone or tablet. When used with a compatible source, Bluetooth aptX HD delivers premium sound quality that’s the best yet from Bluetooth technology.

Internet, DAB and FM – all the radio you need
Internet radio opens up access to a choice of hundreds of radio stations from around the world. Backing this up, the built-in DAB and FM tuners give wide-ranging access to all your favourite stations, including popular digital only stations, such as BBC 6 Music and 4 Extra.

Connects to the most complex systems
With seven HDMI inputs and three outputs, the AVR21 easily handles the most complex AV systems. The HDMI 2.1 sockets are compatible with HDCP2.3 and eARC, making them suitable for use with the latest TVs and video sources. Six digital and six analogue inputs are ample for a wide range of audio components – such as CD, streamer and pre-amp equipped turntable. There are also optical digital and analogue outputs – ideal for recording or looping sound through the Arcam.

HDMI Zone 2 output
Triple HDMI outputs make the AVR21 even more versatile. Use two of the outputs within the same room for connecting a TV and projector simultaneously. The third HDMI is independent, making it ideal for sound and vision in a second room.

Everything great about the 700 Series, distilled into a compact design, the Bowers & Wilkins 707 S3 make the perfect choice for smaller spaces or as home cinema effect speakers.

Reference sound from a smaller speaker
The Bowers & Wilkins 707 S3 speakers are the most compact speakers in the 700 Series and suit a wide range of purposes. Use them as stereo speakers in a smaller room or even as top quality desktop audio speakers. Alternatively, when used with other Bowers & Wilkins 700 Series models they make the ideal home cinema effect channel speakers.

Continuum woofer for lifelike clarity
First developed for Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship 800-series, the Continuum woofer design puts a natural mid-range and articulate bass response as its highest priority. The highly developed design helps produce class-leading vocals that makes the singers sound as though they’re in the room with you. In its long-throw format, as used by the 707 S3, it goes lower than you might expect from such a compact speaker, although always puts bass clarity and timing ahead of ultimate depth.

Hear pin-sharp detail with Carbon Dome tweeters
Purpose-built for the 700 Series, Carbon Dome tweeters elevate this speaker’s top-end detail. With a far higher breakup threshold than aluminium tweeters, they greatly reduce harmonic distortion, giving a natural purity to the highest frequencies that’s hard to beat.

Premium finish
Exquisitely crafted to the highest standards, the 700 Series upholds the tradition of Bowers & Wilkins’ class-leading quality. Details include magnetically attached grilles and hidden driver fixings for a seamless style – grille on or off. Available in a choice of Gloss Black, Satin White or Mocha, there’s a finish to suit your décor.

Hear every strand of music, with the Bowers & Wilkins 707 S3 speakers.

Combining mighty bass with effortless musical flow, the Bowers & Wilkins 702 S3 delivers a breathtaking performance.

Bold performer that’s ideal for medium-sized to larger rooms
Standing just below the 702 model, the Bowers & Wilkins 703 S3 is ideally suited to hi-fi or home cinema applications in larger rooms. Using two, rather than three Aerofoil Profile bass cones, the bottom end response is deep and powerful but not so deep that it overwhelms medium-sized rooms.

Strong bass response
With twin bass woofers, the 703 S3 isn’t shy when it comes to powerful sound. Developed via CAD (Computer Aided Design), the 703 S3’s bass woofers use variable thickness cones for light weight and maximum rigidity where needed. The result is fast, responsive bass that’s every bit as rhythmic as it is deep.

Mid-range realism
First developed for Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship 800-series, the Continuum woofer design plugs the gap between bass and treble with exceptional smoothness. The highly developed design helps deliver class-leading vocals that makes the singers sound as though they’re in the room with you. Not only that, rather than the mid-range standing aside from the rest of the music, it seamlessly blends in, further helping the ‘live music’ effect.

Iconic tweeter housing for the most spacious sound
Bowers and Wilkins’ separate tweeter housing has been a design signature of theirs for several decades now. The separate housing reduces top-end distortion and also helps promote a wider spread of sound, giving you a holographic, ‘reach in’ soundstage.

Details include solid body tweeter housings that are milled from a single block of aluminium. The 703 S3 also comes with a bespoke plinth that uses aluminium feet for contrasting style as well as practical isolation.

Bass you can feel
With a mighty 1000 watt amplifier hooked up to Bowers & Wilkins 10 inch Aerofoil bass cone, depth, quantity and volume of bass are never a problem. With the ability to reach right down to 10Hz, the DB4S can challenge a multiplex for heart-pounding bass.

Dynamic agility
Bowers & Wilkins’s trademark Aerofoil woofer uses a variable thickness cone for the ideal balance of lightness and rigidity. It means that it not only has the strength to maintain bass notes but also the agility to rapidly respond to changes in the beat.
