Bowers&Wilkins Bookshelf Speaker 705 Gloss Black
Enjoy your music and other audio sources with enhanced high-end response with your amplifier and this pair of gloss black Bowers & Wilkins 705 S2 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers. They feature a 50 Hz to 28 kHz frequency response with 6.5" Continuum cone mid-woofers and 1" carbon dome tweeters decoupled from the rest of the cabinet to emphasize the treble in your audio. The rear bass port is designed to augment the bass effects. The 705 S2 speakers each have two pairs of binding posts, allowing you to bi-amp or bi-wire them. A pair of black grilles are included to augment the look of the speakers.
Engineered for Enhanced High Frequencies
Milled from a solid block of aluminum, the top-mounted solid body tweeter housing helps create an optimized housing for the tweeters by being inert and resistant to resonances.
Decoupled Carbon Dome Tweeters
The decoupled carbon dome tweeters are designed to raise the breakup threshold to 47 kHz for enhanced imaging accuracy and detail.
Continuum Cone Mid-Woofers
The Continuum cone drivers help deliver voices and instruments with purity and precision.

Opinions about Bowers&Wilkins Bookshelf Speaker 705 Gloss Black
Pros
Great middle, detail, powerful bass
Minuses
Marking, Chinese assembly
Review
Very detailed acoustics, reports all the nuances of the record. Excellent worked out the middle. Confident bottom. In general, the sound is slightly dry, neutral. They are not suitable for all music. Rock does not particularly play. Pop, electronics, acoustics jazz play perfectly. Require powerful amplification. Not every amplifier will truly reveal them.
The buildings are marked, all the mistakes, dust is perfectly visible. After a few Grinkles, they are covered with microzarapins. The build quality also upset. The acoustics came originally defective - the dynamics coil was damaged by one column. He suffered for a long time with her exchange. Nevertheless, the Chinese assembly says a lot.
