Bowers & Wilkins - 700 Series 3-way Floorstanding Speaker w/6" midrange, dual 6.5" bass (each) - Gloss Black

These speakers sound awesome but I have found them to be a little limited on the low end but the mids and highs are beautiful. I listen to a lot of rock and acoustic music and am finding I can hear instruments in songs that I had never heard before. The sound is very clear and crisp. I did add 2 SVS SB1000 subs that are set very quietly to add more low depth. I find I need this when listening to my more heavy rock albums. My hunch would be that these are not needed with acoustic, jazz or classical. The speakers are hooked up to a Marantz PM7000N with 2 subs as well. My listening is pretty evenly split between phono and streaming. These speakers are used for an audio only setup and no television.

Just received these speakers on the 4/29 so far they have been good I know there is a break in period , movies sound amazing and so does my jazz on vinyl and bluetooth

I initially purchased a pair of B&W 684 S2, which were quite all right but did not exceed my expectations. Decided to do a lot more research and the outstanding staff at the service department of Best Buy allowed me to replace them with these wonderful speakers. Significant difference in mid and high response, improved bass, clarity, and separation. I think those Brits know what they're doing. I am using a McIntosh MAC6700 receiver to drive these speakers, with the lower end handled by a Velodyne SPL-2 10" sub. I understand the recommendation to 'break them in' for 70 hours before each one performs to its fullest potential. Nonetheless, the sound is amazing right out of the box. I very highly recommend these puppies. You will not be disappointed.

Outstanding speakers. Very balanced and full sound, a lot of detail and great soundstage, but still a warm sound. Zero complaints. If I was using them for a video set up, I might add a subwoofer, but for any music reproduction, that's absolutely unnecessary. They fill a large room. The finish on the cabinets is gorgeous. Very elegant. If you've got the room and the budget, these are a great choice. I have a pair of B&W 683 S2s in another room, which I also like, but these are a worthy and noticeable upgrade.

I waited thirteenth years for this upgrade. It's a wall of sound. I could write more, but does it matter? Sound is subjective, and you probably already have something in mind. This worked for me.

These are replacing a pair of NHT 2.5is which have always sounded amazing. However, the B&W 703 S2 just blow me away. Pinpoint imaging and a midrange to die for! Highly recommended!!!!

Honestly, the best speaker I've ever owned. For years I was convinced that a ported speaker couldn't sound good, but the B&Ws completely changed my perspective. I plan on having these speakers for years to come.

Heard in store, just wow, can't wait to move back home and set this up!
