I went overboard and I bought several of these bookshelf speakers in the various sizes offered. They sound great for being so small and the amount of of bass they produce is unbelievable. if you can do yourself a favor and buy this pair of speakers they are just as good as Sonus Faber speakers that I have as a comparison.

These are great speakers for the size. Whilst more expensive than some others in the same category/size, they really do ooze quality. I previously tried the 607's and these are a definite improvement both in looks and sound.

It started with a subwoofer and now my entire setup is Bowers. The sound is flawless. Highly recommend to spend the extra money and get it right the first time.

Bought these speakers after listening to a LOT of different ones at the Best Buy store. Even though they're small, they have BIG sound. They're a little pricey, but I think they'll last the rest of our lives, then someone else can enjoy them for many more years.

Speaker has really great detail and very good bass for a 5" driver. At high volume, a little to bright for my taste. The drivers would bottom out at higher volume.

They look so nice, construction is top notch. I think these are good on a well treated room because they are very bright.

Purchased a pair of the 707 s2 recently from best buy. I just can't say enough about these speakers. I have owned many speakers over the years. Most recently, a pair of B&W CM5 S1, and Paradigm Prestige 15B.
These speakers are addicting. Cant wait to get home at night, sit back, and listen to theses. The highs are perfect. I thought the CM5's were a little on the bright side. the clarity and imagining amazing. Blown away. I've returned quite a few speakers over the years. Best Buy is not going to be getting these back.

I just hooked these up today and really like the smooth detailed presentation. No problem driving these with the Naim XS3 integrated amp. It is great to be able to visit a local Magnolia and audition the speakers before buying. These are keepers.

best bookshelf speaker at this price point

Started with the Elac UB5 and let me just say if you do not have a subwoofer this speaker really packs a punch. It fills a room with a wall of sound and some nice warm bass for a speaker of its size. However, the highs suffer from dryness some might say "softness" and some distortion at moderate listening levels. Enter the 700's at more than twice the price. Of course they should sound better and they do. With percussion, saxophones and piano the UB5 is not even in the discussion. Nuanced but with size defying dynamics these little guys play loud and clean. Amen.

Very high quality speakers, they sound amazing. Current setup is being connected bi-amp to a Marantz amp.
