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.

Outstanding sonic performance ; Beautifully made ; Handsome appearance

Fairly demanding of partnering equipment ; Stand is a little expensive

Bowers & Wilkins is not an especially prolific company. Very little gets updated for the sake of it and the CM Series that the 700 Series replaces were still more than holding their own. Having spent some time with them, the reason why the 705 S2...
