    Sonic bliss

    These speakers have to be paired with the right components, Try across Cambridge Audio, Marantz, Arcam and Rotel, you will find the right amp to pair these with. I use these for listening to music, I had a Mordaunt Short sub lying around (don't really need the sub). After about a 500 hr, break in period these speakers shine. The value for money is incredible (I got them on sale), these bookshelf speakers can put most towers in their price range to shame. You will have to exceed $2500 for towers to get better sound.

    Strong Entry Level Speaker

    A Bowers & Wilkins branded speaker has a tremendous reputation to overcome. The 606-S3 is the entry level bookshelf offering in the B&W value series. These are revealing speakers whether at 60 dB or 85 dB. I suggest a separate power amplifier to bring out the dynamics of this speaker. You may find the bass lacking and the treble overpowering. If so, simply cut your treble -1 dB and boost your bass +1 dB or adjust to your preference. I am using an Anthem preprocessor straight - no room correction - with an Outlaw 7000x amplifier. Placement matters, so listen to well known tracks and adjust the width between the speakers as well as the distance from the wall to dial in the stereo imaging. I am thoroughly impressed with these speakers that make up our 5.1 base layer surround system in the family room. Music is wonderfully clear, detailed, and revealing. Movies have clear dialogue with realistic surround sound making for a stunning performance.

    Great entry level speaker

    Pairs nicely with the B&W 606 S3. Creates a seamless sound stage. I did dial back the treble a touch (1db) to take the edge off the highs. Did this for the 606s as well. Beautifully finished, can see the attention to detail in the build quality. Have always liked the sound of B&Ws and these do not disappoint. On a separate note, I first purchased this speaker as an open box excellent but had to return as the packaging inside the box was nonexistent. The speaker tumbled around in the box during shipping and dented all the corners. Looked horrible. May have started out as excellent but ended up as barely good. Maybe a bit more training for the Geeks is needed when certifying and sealing the open box if may be shipped. Disappointed. Ended up purchasing new.

    Fantastic and easy to mount

    Used a universal mount to put these in the corner of my wall and maximize the floor space. Sounds fantastic. I know the recommendation is for the bowers floor stands, but it’s home entertainment, not a business or sound studio.

705 S3 is our ultimate 700 Series bookshelf speaker, a no-holds-barred celebration of excellence able to highlight all the subtle nuances in your music that other speakers miss. Its Carbon Dome tweeter is housed in a redesigned Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top enclosure used in 800 Series Diamond products. That joins a subtly curved baffle endowed with a ‘pod’ housing for its Continuum Cone bass/midrange driver, ensuring that you hear less of the speaker’s cabinet, and more of the music you love.
