These replaced very nice speakers. However, they blew away my old, very nice speakers. Clarity and separation are amazing! Highly recommended.

Excellent sound. Very pleased with the output of these speakers. Using for my rear speakers with my entertainment system and it’s quite the combo paired with my tower speakers.

You just can't go wrong when you get the best audio system available for the price. The overall sound quality coming out of these Bowers & Wilkins book shelf speakers is unmatched.

Bought these guys for left and right of my TV in a smaller space where tower speakers would not fit.
Was NOT disappointed at all!

These were unreal for a year until....
I'm running these off of a peachtree nova 150 and these speakers were literally life chsnging - worked amazingly well. At month 10, the speaker (just one, not both) developed a buzz in the lower vocal range, like deeper country voices, cello, that type of frequency. It was very infrequent but it happened on a different amp, with different cables, in different rooms, and multiple sets of ears, and testing moving the speaker between left and right channels. I had one of my friends, a professional sound engineer, take a listen too and he heard it. Sent the speaker back to b and w, they fixed the tweeter which was odd to me because as i said, it was a more mudrange buzzing issue. They were extremely resistant to even looking at the speaker again after i received it back and the issue was still occurring. VERY FRUSTRATED with b and w. I know this isn't a 10k speaker, but, the issue still occurs and multiple people have heard it on numerous setups on multiple channels in multiple rooms. I was so happy at first, but now after dealing with customer service, id not recommended these anymore. I'm not the richest guy in the world so this was a big spend item for my family and i and now we are being left out to dry after less than one year. Extremely frustrated and disappointed for something that costs this much and should be high quality.

Excellent sound and clarity. Better to my Elac UB5s and KEF LS50 metas. Bass is enough without any subwoofer. I will settle with this guy after a long research.

have a question. I ordered bowers 706 s2 without listening to a demo as not available where I live . Are these speakers too bright ? If yes can it be adjusted by using bass and treble controls on amp ?

Big sound from bookshelf speakers. Went from 2010 Klipsch 4” Towers to these and very satisfied. Remodeled and had subsequent floor space issues.
