Bowers & Wilkins 705 S2 review
These beautiful speakers are a thrill a minute - but they don't have a slower gear.

Review: Bowers & Wilkins 705 S2 Signature | Speaker In Perfect Balance Bowers & Wilkins 705 S2 Signature
One of our clear favorites among standmount speakers has been perfected in the 705 S2 Signature.
Neutral and detailed reproduction of the music. Here the details are dug out, with extremely good dynamics. Fantastic music communicators!
The bass can be a little timid. The price has increased significantly from the standard version.
The Bowers & Wilkins 705 S2 Signature is a rarity of a tripod speaker. It is as honest as it is musical, and works just as well for both hi-fi enthusiasts and sound technicians who require analytical laser precision. For music reproduction, it takes...
