Description
DEMO CLEAROUT: The uncompromising Bowers & Wilkins 705S2 two-way speaker reveals subtle nuances in music others miss, with high performance features including a solid body Tweeter-on-Top design borrowed from the iconic 800 Series Diamond. The top-performing stand-mount speaker in the range, the 705 S2 features studio-inspired technologies for immaculate sound quality.
Milled from a solid block of aluminum, the solid body tweeter housing design creates an acoustically optimized housing for the tweeter – one that’s exceptionally inert and resistant to resonances. Carbon Dome tweeters are purpose-built for the 700 Series. Delivering a dramatic improvement on the aluminum double dome tweeter, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail. Voices and instruments are delivered with purity and precision, thanks to the smooth, accurate Continuum™ cone midrange driver.
