Bowers & Wilkins HTM72 S2
The Bowers & Wilkins HTM72 S2 is a compact yet highly capable centre-channel loudspeaker from the 700 Series, engineered to deliver exceptional dialogue clarity and tonal accuracy in refined home cinema systems. Designed for smaller to medium-sized rooms, it brings the brand’s signature technologies into a more space-conscious form factor without compromising on articulation or balance.
At its core is a 2-way driver topology, built around dual Continuum™ cone mid/bass drivers flanking a decoupled Carbon Dome tweeter. This configuration is optimised for precise vocal reproduction, ensuring speech remains intelligible and natural—even within complex, high-dynamic film soundtracks.
The inclusion of a rear-firing Flowport™ bass reflex system allows for controlled low-frequency extension while maintaining cabinet efficiency. Combined with the tweeter’s elevated breakup threshold, the result is a centre speaker that offers clean high-frequency detail, low coloration, and excellent integration with matching 700 Series loudspeakers.

In application, the HTM72 S2 excels in coherent front-stage integration, particularly when paired with 700 Series bookshelf or floorstanding speakers. Its tonal balance and dispersion characteristics ensure that dialogue remains locked to the screen, with a natural sense of scale and presence.
While more compact than its larger sibling (HTM71 S2), it retains the essential Bowers & Wilkins qualities—neutral midrange, articulate highs, and controlled bass response—making it a compelling choice for high-performance yet space-conscious cinema systems.
