Why not another 5 stars
I have owned a 5 speaker B&W 600s set for a very long time, and absolutely love the sound. After all these years, decided to upgrade the front stage with the 700 series, starting with the left and right tower speakers. After connecting and turning those on, both mine and my wife’s jaws dropped. The difference was immediately noticeable, we were fascinated. After a week decided to take the obvious next step upgrading also the center speaker with this HTM71, and wanted to have the same size 6.5” woofers as my 600 series. Let me say that the difference in sound with this HTM71 is significant. Besides the more refined high frequencies, the base is stronger and deeper, while the midrange produces unbelievably natural voices. The most impressive part is that the sound is projected towards the listener with a wider soundstage. In comparison, the 600 sounded like it was coming from the speaker, drawing too much attention. While I still enjoy the 600 series sound, which are now in another room and used regularly, the 700s are just more impressive and refine, with sweet never fatiguing highs. I can easily crank the speaker higher than before to enjoy movies and music with better detail and more impact. Star Wars never sounded so full, rich and detailed. This center speaker is quite expensive, however after spending on the L+R towers, adding the center was a must. The integration of the front stage is perfect producing a result that takes movies and music to pure bliss and enjoyment. If you’re serious about home theater take the plunge and go for it.

Great center channel speaker from B & W
I purchased this center channel to replace a 20 year-old center channel speaker. I decided to upgrade to Bowers & Wilkins to replace another speaker system. I decided to break-in the center channel speaker using an amp to bi-amp and use both connections by removing the terminal link. I played music at various levels for over 30 hours to have the speakers ready. I am amazed at the bass response as well as how clear and clean everything sounds! I highly recommend upgrading to this 3-way center channel speaker. The dialog and effects are crystal clear.

B and w Center speaker
To this writer, center speakers are often overlooked, but are a crucial part of a successful home theater experience. So much of the movie/tv experience comes through the center channel, that we did not want to skimp on the center speaker. We compared this speaker to the smaller b and w center as well as other centers. This speaker is was noticeably superior. Voices carry beautifully throughout the room. So much so that I use this speaker in surround sound mode to listen to music because it sounds that good when paired with my other b and w speakers.

Cinema Changer
Best looking and sounding speaker I could buy. Used it in a mismatched system of Paradigm towers and Def Tech subs and rears. I can't reasonably justify the 702 s2's, and I am very happy with the increased frequency response range with its dual 6.5" bass drivers providing richer voices and a powerful wall of sound in action scenes.

Looks and performance
So far so good. I haven't upgraded my av receiver yet, but this speaker still sounds good. Replaced a large paradigm center. Audio much more crisp. Looking forward to the new receiver being hooked up. Also, the finish looks great.

An upgrade from the CM10 S2 speakers.
I previously owned the CM10 S2 center channel for 5 years. I purchased this 700 series center after receiving a email from B&W of the new series. At my age of 60 yrs and working around industrial machinery for 40 plus years I have ringing in my ears all day. I wasn’t sure I’d hear a difference. I’m not a trained audiophile. I noticed more clarity from this speaker. Not a wow factor due to my decreased hearing level but I’m not disappointed in my purchase. I also replaced my same tower speakers with the 702 S2 speakers. I noticed clear sound listening to different types of music from country to classical to hear the difference and I believe there is a difference. Just wish I could hear them side by side.
