 I'Ve never heard this woofer bottom mount and it particularly does a good job in the mid range where it really matters so overall for someone who leans a little toward the detail or brightness side of the equation. The 706 s2 is a good product to take home. As for recommendations to pair up with the bowers and wilkins 706 s2 - and i feel like this - would be a useful little tidbit to add in, i would say, if you're going to do a surround, sound based system. And you want to deploy this as a 5

 We have a video on the evo 300 that you can check out and that will inform you about most of the product range and then in the slightly more entry, slightly more affordable category, but still very high quality. Definitely take a look at the marantz pm. 8006. Integrated a very classical class, a b, integrated amp

 Bowers in-house makes their own carbon dome tweeters, as in that's made out of nearly pure carbon, whereas most manufacturers in the business at this level are using, maybe aluminum, maybe if you're lucky something that's got a little bit of titanium in it silk. Some other kind of soft dome material stuff like that, the thing about this carbon is it can extend higher than pretty much all the other ones i just mentioned, and with that just comes a level of detail that you really don't find in many other places, at Least, at this level in the market, so this tweeter is a standout. It can come off as a little bit bright at times, but gosh. The detail is there down here: you'll find the continuum cone, which is a trickle-down feature of the famous 800 series where it was first implemented

Bowers & Wilkins 706 S2 Bookshelf Speakers | Small & DETAILED Speakers With Amazing Sound Quality

 I figured the Hegel would run pretty much any speakers after coming out of that demonstration (and quickly googling the speakers I just heard). The Hegel H190 is the incredible Hulk on steroids, squeezed into a nice tuxedo. 

I ultimately felt like the asking price for a new pair was a bit out of my reach. Luckily enough, a pair of used B&W CM10 S2 were available. At a third of the price of the newer models, I gave it a try. Auditioned them

For me, It came down to the Dali Rubicon 6 or the B&W 702 S2. Price around 4200 EUR for either model. Probably would have went with the Dalis *IF* I had let the sales person persuade me a bit longer.

 Blends in with the speakers, instead of being its own separate sound source. Recommended if you want a small footprint subwoofer for a subtle yet full sound.

Hegel H190 + B&W CM10 S2 + REL T-Zero

*Background*

Previously had the Audiolab 6000A running a pair of B&W 606. Around 1100 Euros in total for amp and speakers. Both new. Speakers at full price, amp at a nice discount. This setup was nice, but lacked the ”grunt” I found that I actually wanted.

*Amplifier*

Saw an ad for a used Hegel H190 at a good price (~1300 EUR). Went to audition the amplifier at the sellers house. 

Seller had the H190 connected to a pair of Tidal Contrivas when I auditioned the amp (didn’t know of any other Tidal than the streaming service at that point). The listening session was mind blowing. I figured the Hegel would run pretty much any speakers after coming out of that demonstration (and quickly googling the speakers I just heard).

*Speakers*

Auditioned several floorstanders in the 1000-5000 EUR range; Dynaudio, Dali, KEF, Focal, B&W, Audiovector. I quickly realised I didn’t always find the more expensive models to be worth the price difference.

*Subwoofer*

REL T-Zero. Didn’t know I needed it until I tried it. Got a used one for ~230 Euros. Integrates very nicely with any speakers I’ve tried. Blends in with the speakers, instead of being its own separate sound source. Recommended if you want a small footprint subwoofer for a subtle yet full sound.

Streaming 99% of the time. Tidal or Spotify. Looking to go physical with CDs (vinyl looks awesome, but a bit too demanding for me atm). On the hunt for a white CD-transport to keep with the current white theme.

Hope you are all staying safe and sound in this crazy world. Rock on (and be nice to each other!)

Sweet meditation

 I went back and forth between kef, focal, buchardt, b&w 600 series, b&w 700 series. I listened to what I could from friends and best buy for what that is worth.

72 hours of ownership b&amp;w 706 s2 and svs sb2000

After some consulting from my local audio shop I went with a Denon x1600H DAB. Installing this was a breeze compared to my previous receiver. No more tulip to a optic cable converter and other hacks to make it work.

The thing that surprised me the most was the improved sound quality. Even my non audio lover girlfriend heard the difference (very rare).

Moved from my studenthouse to a nice apartment, I can listen to music in peace now

 Yet some people like speakers with a forward sound, and as such they are the most forward of the 700 series I heard.As the rears in a surround sound system based on the say the 706s or 705s these little speakers would excel, but as the main event there are plenty of cheaper speakers which will give you a more structured and musical experience. Try Elac's UB5 or B&W's own 685 S2 instead. Another option for a similar price is the KEF LS50, a favorite of resident CNET Audiophiliac Steve Guttenberg

 If you're a budding percussionist this is probably useful, but for many listeners the vocals are the most important part, and those vocals can be overwhelmed at times, as they were with Midnight Oil's "Power and the Passion."Should you buy it?The B&Ws are compact and beautifully built, but I wouldn't necessarily describe them as flexible, neutral or even economical.

 The natural sound I sought returned, and the 705's bass response was more at ease in my testing room. Even if you have a small space it's worth saving up for the $2,500 705 speakers (that price converts to about £1,920 or AU$3,130). They crushed both the Elac and the 707, making me anxious to see how well the new Elac Adante AS-61GB will perform at the same price. It should be a very interesting match-up

 Both sounded suitably sumptuous and larger than life, though, filling the compact CNET listening room without issue.&nbsp;       Sarah Tew/CNETI wondered what would happen if I traded up to another model in the series -- particularly the 705 S2s with their external tweeter.

Bowers &amp; Wilkins 707 S2 review: Space-age materials and beautiful design for high-end music

2 with very deep and rich sound stage, with very good detail, details sound with smooth representation and smooth sound reproduction. So that's different, but when I compare to these speakers back-to-back evil 4.2 sound like a point source, you know it doesn't call attention of any drivers from this three drivers, assembly and 706 s do cause a lot of attention to it. Tweeters

 I'M a big fan of 80s by the way, also 70s and evil 4.2 totally give me sound and musical soundscape and music enjoyment that I I wish for it can give me that kind of enjoyment. So that's why I'm keeping after evil 4.2 in my system, so evil 4

I love having the super lows of my sub, but I feel like if I change my crossover to let in higher frequencies it gets muddy (cheap sub with big port) so I want some speakers that can really respond quickly and really kick. Ideally at about 120w a channel. For reference I tried some Fluance Ai61's thinking they would do it, but I was thoroughly unimpressed and now I'm wary of bookshelf claims. Or if you have sub recommendations that can do this I'm open to alternatives

Edifier is a very solid brand for SQ on a budget.  A friend had these exact pair, though I never got to hear them.  The phono pre on them died after a bit, so I'm not sure if that's something to be weary of.

But others are right that separates on a cheap amp will likely be a better long-term move for sequential upgrading.

If you're new to Edifier and are leaning toward buying them, check out their website. They often have sales during major holidays. Their refurbished section has some pretty great steals. I was brand new and bought a pair that way. Very happy with my current setup! There's some R2000's there for $200 refurbished. Note, they have base on the back of the speaker as opposed to the front I think.

I have them and they are literally perfect for pc use for me and as studio monitor alternatives because I have headphones for that too. These are super balanced, really warm, nice, crisp speakers. I have had worse hi-fi setups that were 4 times more expensive but older. Also the integrated eq knobs work really well to dial in your own preference and because of the forward facing bass ports you propably won't need a subwoofer. 
Is there any downside to them? Yes sadly. They are super directional meaning they won't fill your room and provide the same experience everywhere. These are meant to sit in front of you positioned towards your eats or at least in your general direction. If you need a room-filling banger speaker I recommend the Jam Audio Symphony wifi speaker. It's way less detailed but can fill a house party and is really nice and crisp has a huge amount of bass and is just pleasant to listen to, only good for music tho.

I have the exact same speakers and will buy them again. Perfect for my small home office while I’m working. I recommend checking Edifier refurbs (they have their own store on Amazon) which saved me $40, YMMV. Caveat, I wish I had skipped BT in order to get the model with sub outs.

These are good for listening in a small room at a moderate volume level. Also great for upgraded computer speakers. They are somewhat flat and the mids are just ok. Nice soundstage though. If you are trying to rock the house, look elsewhere.

Any opinions on these active bookshelf speakers and if pairing with a subwoofer would be a good choice? I have no experience with good audio equipment and budget is $230. Any help is appreciated.

I suggest getting a reasonable set of powered speakers, like the Kanto YU6, or Fluance AI61, or Audioengine A5+, then also picking up a subwoofer. Not so you can shake the room, but so you can increase the gain on the low end for lower volumes. I listen at “reasonable” levels in my city apartment, and don’t crank the volume, so it’s nice to be able to fill in the lower frequencies.

Do you have an amp already or are you looking for advice on that too? Or are looking for an all-in-one solution, ie. powered speakers ?
Also what will be your source of music?

They JBL HDI bookshelf’s are $1,000 each, but you can get very similar performance from the JBL L830 6.5” bookshelf speaker. You can find them used for $200-300 a pair and they do not need a sub. Use the left over money to buy a decent tube amp or solid state and you’ll be set. I used these as near field monitors for years at low volumes and they still resolve every note.

Hello,

I am looking for the best bookcase speakers (something that’s not surround sound or over/in ear headphones) that is the best for listening at a very low volume and still keeping the integrity of the music. I am recovering from a TBI (traumatic brain injury) and have an extreme sensitivity to noise hence why it needs to be at a very low volume. I’ve looked at bookcase speakers and people bring up a pre-amp which I’m not sure if that would be needed for my use. I hope not as I just want something simple if possible. My budget is around 1-2 grand. Thanks!

Best bookcase speakers for very low volume listening?

 I was wrong. These Fluance speakers deliver shallow and unimpressive bass. They do have good control of the mid range and slightly better vocals and highs. But for speakers with a 6

 I do think the build quality is good, and the clarity overall is also good. But Fluance needs to work on the bass response of these speakers. I’m returning them and getting another pair of Edifiers. Disappointing as I was hoping to support a Canadian (home for me) company

 I bought these for a different room in my house where I thought the larger driver in these Fluance speakers (6.5”) would deliver a little more bass punch than the Edifier’s (4”) driver. I was wrong. These Fluance speakers deliver shallow and unimpressive bass

5” driver, the bass is quite disappointing. The bass kinda sounds like a toddler banging on the bottom of a plastic pail. I do think the build quality is good, and the clarity overall is also good. But Fluance needs to work on the bass response of these speakers

Disappointing shallow bass.

In a sea of wireless all-in-one Bluetooth speakers for the great outdoors or your smart home, the Fluance Ai61 speakers ($299.99) stand out for their classic design approach and support for both wired and wireless playback. The bookshelf-style speakers delivers natural and detailed audio, with true stereo separation&mdash;an increasingly rare quality. They aren't perfect, however, as some aspects seem a bit more outdated than retro, namely subpar Bluetooth codec support and the reliance on a physical remote instead of a companion app
