Exclamation

The 703s2's is the Star in the 700 series! And is the sweet-spot in the Whole B&W Line now, one of the best under 15K!

I will listen but I don't understand why for a few hundred more you wouldn't go for the third woofer and stand alone tweeter in a billet of aluminum

We all have different taste so some might like the 702s2's better and others will like the 703s2's better and some will say they both don't sound any good!

This is what makes this hobby so great!..

Make sure you also listen to the 803 D3 and 802 D3's right after you listen to the 702s2 and 703s2's!

Hi Rick721! I'm going to be auditioning the 702 and the 703 soon so I'll be able to make up my own mind, but what characteristics of the 703 did you prefer to the 702? Thanks for your time!

The only reason I picked the 703 over the 702's was because of the very bright sounding tweeters! I did not like the CM series because of the bright sounding tweeters too!

But after seeing the latest review on the all new Yamaha ns 5000's on audiofi.net, I have to go listen to speakers that might be the first speakers to sound like live music!! ?

Looks like when these 702s2's break-in more they come alive and sound more like the new 800 d3's??
