Engineering notes
- The 14-channel, 1,400 W Class-D system was developed by B&W with McLaren specifically for the 750S, with Studio, Stage and Driver Focus modes.
- The door midrange drivers use B&W's woven-composite Continuum cone, which absorbs vibrations that mar a conventional cone.
- Nautilus aluminium double-dome tweeters add spiralling diffusion channels behind the dome, and B&W's central Tweeter-on-Top is fitted.
- Bass comes from two 200 mm dual voice coil Rohacell drivers, and the grilles are etched stainless steel.
