acatala Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hi, I was visiting the Bowers & Wilkins website. I was reading the contents on 700 S2 Series and I wonder if there are sonic differences between 705 S2 and 706 S2 models. After reading the specifications, from the technical point of view, there are very few differences. The 705 S2 is more expensive than the 706 S2, so I guess there will be differences. If anybody has tested this loudspeakers, worth it pay extra money for the 705 S2 model? Thanks. Link to comment
mansr Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The difference is the top-mounted tweeter which is supposed to provide some advantages. I believe the drivers are the same. Link to comment
acatala Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hi Mansr. The big question is worth it paying extra 700/800 $ or € for having a top-mounted tweeter. Are there audible differences with regard the 706 S2 model? The old CM Series had a CM5 (the equivalent to 706 S2) and CM6 (the equivalent to 705 S2) with top-mounted tweeter. I don't know if there were also audible differences with those models. Link to comment
mansr Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I have the CM6 S2, but I haven't done a close comparison to the CM5. Ask your dealer for a demo if possible. The only way to find out whether you personally think the higher price is worth it is to listen. acatala 1 Link to comment
