    • Peak Power Handling: 120 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
    • Impedance: 8 ohms (Describes the resistance of an electric signal throughout the system. Devices with low impedance require less power to deliver optimal signals but are more at risk for damage from overloading. Higher impedance requires more power but is more protected from overload damage.)
    • Minimum Frequency Response: 45 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Maximum Frequency Response: 33 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Sensitivity: 88 decibels
    • High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)

Speaker Buying Guide

  • 1" Carbon Dome Tweeter: Pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail resulting from a Carbon Coating on our aluminum Double Dome Tweeter. The closest performance to our Diamond Dome Tweeters.
  • Solid Body Tweeter: Milled from a solid block of aluminum, the solid body tweeter housing design creates an acoustically optimized housing for the tweeter – one that’s exceptionally inert and resistant to resonances. You'll enjoy smooth and clear highs.
  • 6.5" Continuum Midbass: Continnum is a woven material that blends control with flexibility. The result is breathtaking clarity and power. Hear voices, guitars and bass instruments in a whole new way.
  • Driver Decoupling: Decoupling places a shock-absorber between the cabinet and drivers to short circuit detail smearing distortion. The result is greater clarity and pinpoint imaging by reducing distortions that soften and blur what you hear.
  • Flowport: Reduces air turbulence for clearer bass by dimpling the flared port.
  • Magnetic grille: Remains acoustically transparent while protecting the speaker's components.
  • Stands Available Seperately: B&W FS-700-S2 BLACK STANDS Compliment 705S2

Q: Where are these speakers made?

A: These are made in B&W's state of the art facility in China. Only the 800 series is currently made near their headquarters in England.

Q: Can I use these for rear speakers and hand them?

A: Hello, the Bowers & Wilkins 705 S2 Bookshelf speakers will make for fantastic Surround Sound speakers by creating a very impactful surround sound experience.

Q: can I place the 705 s2 on a shelf instead of the speaker stands? Do I need to put it on foam or rubber feet due to mounting hardware on the bottom of the speaker.

A: I found feet to help a lot, I got the half globe kind (1.25 inch) and they work amazing. Even on a stand, I used these feet to isolate the speaker.
