Bowers & Wilkins - 700 Series 3-way Floorstanding Speaker w/ Tweeter on top, w/6" midrange, three 6.5" bass drivers (each) - Rosenut

After 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.

I 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.

I 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.

Beautiful 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.

Words 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.

Full 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

These speakers kick some serious bass (like the fish). Expensive but worth it
