Description
Features
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" 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.

Absolutely Stunning

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Design, Highs, Sound qualityAfter only owning these for 24 hours I've decided to dump my girlfriend of 5 years as these are the only things I need anymore in my life. The sound reproduction is off the charts. Bowers and Wilkins really put a lot of effort into the tweeter design as the high's really shine. The Continuum driver is a massive upgrade over the CM series Kevlar driver. Can't tell you how much of a difference they sound in the home than at the store.

Incredibly clear sound

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Sound qualityI first heard these speakers in the Magnolia section of Best Buy and couldn’t believe the clarity. Until I looked at the price. Not cheap but I was looking for the best sound I could afford and these were a once I a lifetime splurge. I worried about how’d they sound outside of the studio in a house with high ceilings. I needn’t have worried. Once I got them set up and put played music from my phone I was even more impressed. I didn’t care for the white or gloss black when i found they also cane in a rose wood, that’s what I ordered and they are gorgeous! To say I’m happy with them is an understatement. Each time I listen I’m amazed at how distinct each instrument sounds.

Experience What You Have Been Missing
|Posted .Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I agonized over retiring the set of Polks I used for years but finally decided to purchase these after hearing them in the Magnolia Home Theater department at Best Buy. I can still remember the moment as it was the first time I had been moved by such effortless clarity in the higher registers, solid bass, and indescribable mid-range. I was no longer 'listening' to the music but experiencing it. I connected to the music through the B&Ws in a way I didn't know was possible. If you are looking for the absolute best in audio at this price point sit down and listen to 702s2.

Bowers + Wilkins = Musical Experience
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Beautiful speakers. Amazing sound and performance. Paired with the B&W 700 series subwoofer delivers complete, full range, acoustically pleasing sound. Voices and stringed instruments are alive and soul filled. Going through my music favorites was a joy, hearing notes in songs that I didn’t know were there, until now. If you enjoy sitting back, listening to music, and relaxing to your favorite sound tracks then do yourself a favor And check theses B&Ws out. Worth the price, worth the experience.

Happy customer

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Words cannot describe the experience. A word of advice, with great hardware, use great software. If you’re streaming music, Spotify is really good, but, try Tidal. The experience of hearing a great soprano (Diana Damrau) with these speakers, through Tidal, is quite something. Ed Sheeran (The Shape of You) is a completely different experience with these speakers and Tidal. Finally, feel the power of Gaga by listening to ‘Hollow’, ‘Bad Romance’ and ‘Poker Face’, power of voice through power of these speakers might give you goose bumps. P.S. I’m using a Marantz home theater amplifier.

What can I say.. lets see

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Highs, Mids, PriceFull disclosure, I power my setup with a Rotel RA-1572 First and foremost.. I upgraded from the B&W 600 series.. the new 600 series.. the ones currently available from B&W.. and those sounded great to begin with.. so I happen to stumble upon a screaming deal on a pair of 702 S2's so I figured Id give them a try. I thought myself.. "how much better can they be than the 603's? " I mean after all B&W outdid themselves with the new 603's believe me. So I brought the 702's home.. and plugged them in and fired up the Rotel. Immediately noticed the mid tone was brighter.. and more detailed. I would assume its because of the different tweeter / housing design ...because after all it should be the same mid driver as the 603 right? Whatever is going on, its a lot brighter in the vocals mainly.. more accurate.. for a lack of a better description. The high frequencies are more robust and dynamic sounding. The bass is deeper. In other words, the whole sound spectrum is more robust than the 603. But you would never know it if I hadn't listed to the 702's because I was pretty happy with the 603's. The 603 sound stage is pretty darn good. The 702's is incredible. I can say without question that I'm hearing more detail in the music than I did with the 603's. When I brought the 702's home I had both sets in my listening room at the same time to do a comparison, and it was nice to be able to switch between the sets while in mid-song. All in all, B&W hit the mark with both the 603's and 702's and they will be hard to beat for sound quality in each of their perspective price ranges. Pair them up to a newer Rotel Amp/Pre / integrated amp and you will have the best audio system in your neighborhood. I found these songs bring out the full detail and performance credentials for both models.. Adele: Love Song Sade: Moon and Sky Kiana Lede: Show Love Ella Mai: Trip Sade: By Your Side

Q: QuestionI am putting together my wish list. These speakers sounded unbelievably amazing at Best Buy. Which amp would do these speakers justice and what other accessories are required to get that beautiful sound? Thank you for your time.
Asked by Holls.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionIve been shopping BW and own a complete set of polished black 9's with center and surround speakers. I've been visiting Best Buy recently to upgrade my when I noticed a substantial price increase. No upgrade, Just a 20% increase. Unaffordable now. Why?
Asked by ams1980.
- A:Answer 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.
Answered by Bowers & Wilkins Team
Q: QuestionWhy do I have to buy these speakers in the store? Why can't they be bought online?
Asked by Joem.
- A:Answer The B & W 702 S2 speakers weigh about 68 pounds each. The center speaker is no light weight. They are heavy, the boxes are tall and the speakers are packed very well but, I would not recommend having them shipped to your home. UPS, Fed-x etc. can damage a Steel Anvil. My Best Buy magnolia salesman I purchased the speakers from delivered mine to my home. Excellent customer service and product knowledge.
Answered by Renee
Q: QuestionWhat country makes BW equipment
Asked by ssn1951.
- A:Answer They have a British heritage, but like many products only the highest end 800 series is still made in England. Bowers and Wilkins built a factory specifically for the other serie in China. But they are not alone in doing this.
