- General
- Product Name: 700 Series 3-way Floorstanding Speaker w/ Tweeter on top, w/6" midrange, three 6.5" bass drivers (each)
- Brand: Bowers & Wilkins
- Model Number: B&W 702 S2 GLOSS BLACK
- Color: Gloss Black
- Audio
- Speaker Type: Floorstanding
- Enclosure Type: Ported
- RMS Power: 300 watts (The maximum amount of continuous power the device is able to handle.)
- Peak Power Handling: 300 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: 28 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: 90 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.)

Bring studio-quality sound to your living room with this black Bowers & Wilkins floor speaker. Its solid housing minimizes mechanical vibrations, and the top-mounted tweeter offers stunningly accurate high-frequency sound. This Bowers & Wilkins floor speaker has three bass drivers and a vented box system for producing dynamic low-frequency audio.
- 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" Continuum Midrange: Continnum is a woven material that blends control with flexibility. The result is breathtaking clarity right where you need it most- the midrange. Hear voices, guitars and other instruments in a whole new way.
- Aerofoil Bass Drivers: Bass drivers need to be light, stiff and not ring like a bell. Aerofoil features incredibly light materials molded into a shape resembling an airplane wing for optimal rigidity and damping. Instead of hearing one-note bass, you'll hear colors and textures with power and control
- 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.
- 3- Way Design: Drivers are optimized for their specialized roles in reproducing high frequencies, mid frequencies and low frequencies. This results in better performance for all sounds.
- Flowport: Reduces air turbulence for clearer bass by dimpling the flared port.
- Magnetic grille: Remains acoustically transparent while protecting the speaker's components.

A: Any receiver in Magnolia would be fine but here's the thing: you heard the speakers and loved them so the receiver that was being used to drive them is the one to get. I listened to these speakers with several different receivers at Magnolia. Their switching allows for comparison. Each receiver imparts its own "color" on the sound, i.e., the way it processes the sound through its electronics. I preferred the Yamaha A880. I personally did not like the subdued Denon sound or Marantz, but you might. What I do is listen with the various receivers until the sound I like is found. Isn't that how you chose the speakers? Same principle. I find Best Buy salespeople to be very patient and they actually enjoy doing the comparison. Anything 80W and above is fine and can be had for decent money. Wattage doesn't matter unless you're in a concert hall and need to blare it. For in home use 80W is fine. Speaker wire: stick with 16ga 100% copper. For runs more than 25' or so, use 14ga. You need nothing else. Enjoy.
Q: Is this the price for a pair speakers
A: That is the price for each speaker.
Q: Where are the speakers made?
A: Made in China The 800 series is made in UK
A: The midrange driver is different than the three woofers. The three woofers are identical
Q: Are the speaker connections on back single or bi-wire/bi-amp capable?
A: Yes, the connections accommodate bi-wire or bi-amp connections.
Q: What year this speaker made?
A: The 702S2 has been continuously in production since 2017.
A: Chances are if you dont hear any sound from the tweeter, it quit working. I have had both my speakers have a tweeter stop working. The 1st happened just before 1 year of owner ship, and now the 2nd stopped working just after 2+ years of ownership. Not sure what the deal is other than poor QC with another China made product
A: The simple answer is tarrifs. We built a new factory (near where your CM9's were built) that is not easily moved and the increased tariffs are responsible for the price increases that you are seeing.
