Very nice upgrade. Have not had them long enough to say anything more. As bookshelf speakers, they are big in size and performance. Needed to build a custom mount.

Incredible Speaker
I critically listened to over 20 pairs of speakers over the last year to find these as my end-game speakers. I listened to the KEF R3 and many other KEFs, B&W 600 and 700 series, Polks, Buchardts, and Klipsches. This specific one blew all the others out of the water. I paired it with a Marantz M1. The sound quality, the soundstage, and the clarity were head and shoulders above anything I tested. The 706 S3’s wood finishing, the protruding woofer, and the tweeter clarity are in another league compared to anything else I tested. Funny enough, KEF Q1 Metas were pretty good at one-fifth the price. However, I just couldn’t unhear the 706 S3s. I had to get them. I first saw and listened to these at the Best Buy Magnolia, even though I had gone there to listen to the R3 Metas. I ultimately bought the B&W 706 S3s at Best Buy to support their business and keep the Magnolia showroom open in Brooklyn.

The 706 S3 is an outstanding bookshelf speaker for use in larger spaces. Thanks to its decoupled Carbon Dome tweeter and carefully upgraded crossover, it provides exceptional detail and insight into your music, while its substantial 6.5in Continuum Cone bass/midrange drive unit provides ample scale and extension. Like its 705 S3 sibling, it performs at its best on the optional FS-700 S3 stand.
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.
707 S3’s compact, space friendly design makes it easy to accommodate in smaller spaces, but thanks to its Carbon Dome tweeter, Continuum cone mid-bass and curved baffle, this outstanding loudspeaker provides proof positive than often, size can be deceptive.
HTM72 S3 is the most compact center channel speaker in the 700 Series. It features a Carbon Dome tweeter and twin Continuum cone Mid/Bass drivers. It’s the perfect partner for a home theatre system based around the 704 S3, 706 S3 or 707 S3.
