Bowers&Wilkins 706 S2 bookshelf speaker

With the larger bass/midrange drivers, the 706 S2 delivers a perfectly shaped and lifelike sound with outstanding detail, offering spatiality and musical insight into the recordings.

Carbon dome tweeters were 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.
