Bowers & Wilkins 705 S2 bookshelf speaker

Bowers & Wilkins 705 S2 bookshelf speaker

This uncompromising 2-way speaker reveals subtle nuances in music that others miss. Its high performance features include a tweeter-on-top design with a solid body borrowed from the 800 Series Diamond.

The solid-state tweeter housing is milled from a solid block of aluminum, creating an acoustically optimized enclosure for the tweeter - one that is exceptionally rigid and resonance-resistant.

Carbon Dome™ tweeters are a brand new technical innovation, specially developed for the 700 Series. They make a huge improvement on the aluminium twin dome tweeter, raising the resolution threshold to 47 kHz and delivering precise imaging and hair-splitting detail.

The silky, accurate Continuum™ cone midrange driver reproduces voices and instruments with clarity and precision.

The bookshelf loudspeaker is supplied without stand.
