Features
Carbon Dome Tweeter Pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail resulting from a Carbon Coating on our aluminum Double Dome Tweeter. The closest performance to our Diamond Dome Tweeters.
Solid Body Tweeter 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. You'll enjoy smooth and clear highs.
6" Continuum Midrange Continnum is a woven material that blends control with flexibility. The result is breathtaking clarity right where you need it most- the midrange. Hear voices, guitars and other instruments in a whole new way.
Aerofoil Bass Drivers Bass drivers need to be light, stiff and not ring like a bell. Aerofoil features incredibly light materials molded into a shape resembling an airplane wing for optimal rigidity and damping. Instead of hearing one-note bass, you'll hear colors and textures with power and control
Driver Decoupling Decoupling places a shock-absorber between the cabinet and drivers to short circuit detail smearing distortion. The result is greater clarity and pinpoint imaging by reducing distortions that soften and blur what you hear.
3- Way Design Drivers are optimized for their specialized roles in reproducing high frequencies, mid frequencies and low frequencies. This results in better performance for all sounds.
Flowport Reduces air turbulence for clearer bass by dimpling the flared port.
Magnetic grille Remains acoustically transparent while protecting the speaker's components.

Amazing Speakers!
I had the B&W 602 s2 and boy i have to say the upgrade is worth every penny. The detached tweeter definitely makes a huge difference. Voices sound soo clean and crisp. I paired these with an SVS sb13 sub and just WOW!!! These speakers sound amazing and look amazing.

Best I’ve ever owned
These are the best speakers I’ve ever owned. I purchased these as an upgrade from the Bowers and Wilkins 603’s ( best decision ever ) . I was blown away by the deep base and clear highs associated with 702’s . It’s like I’m in the room with the band . If I close my eyes I can actually see where every band member is standing while playing their instruments. With my older albums I hear things I’ve never heard before on albums I grew up listening to in the 70’s and 80’s .

Audiophile Heaven
I have spent a lot of time around high end audio equipment. I have always loved the sound from B&W. I used to have a 685 surround sound system. When I moved I did not have a back wall or a place to put the surround sound in. So it was time to upgrade from bookshelves to a solid floor standing speaker. I decided to go with a 2.2 system. Two 702s2's and 2 ASW610's. When watching movies I can shake the whole house. But it isn't about loud its about the quality of the sound. You can hear every little thing, there is no distortion. For the money there is nothing else even close. The 703 with the tweeter inside the body is a massive difference in sound quality. There are only two speakers in the 700 line worth thinking about the 702's and the 705's once you hear then you will not consider the others. I was tempted to step up to the 800 series but value for $ the 702's imho are the best purchase in the entire B&W offering. Music which is what i mostly use them for is incredible. I love going back and listening to all my old favorites and hearing things i never heard before. The sound of the strings being played. The sound of someone sliding their fingers up the strings. Every little detail is there in full quality. If you close your eyes you would think the musicians playing right their in your living room. I highly recommend these speakers you will absolutely love them.

Absolutely Stunning
After only owning these for 24 hours I've decided to dump my girlfriend of 5 years as these are the only things I need anymore in my life. The sound reproduction is off the charts. Bowers and Wilkins really put a lot of effort into the tweeter design as the high's really shine. The Continuum driver is a massive upgrade over the CM series Kevlar driver. Can't tell you how much of a difference they sound in the home than at the store.

Fantastic Speakers at closeout prices
Amazing speakers. The S2s are now selling for deep discounts now that the S3s are out. I purchased four 702 S2s and a pair of 705 S2s to fill in the bed layer speakers for my home theater. And they are Amazing once the system and room are tuned in. Movies sound better than a full theater. Jazz, Classical, night club, classic rock, and other music sound amazing in both 2 channel stereo, 7.1, Neural 2D and 3D, and surround Stereo settings on my Denon x4800H. I was listening to George Winston the other night and did not realize Stereo Surround was active. Integration between the 702s and 705s is that good. If you have a choice between the new 600 S3 floor standing speakers and an open box or floor model 702 S2 then go with the 702 S2. Match this up with a quality Integrated stereo amplifier or solid AV Receiver and you'll have yourself a system that your friends will envy. I recommend something with either room correction, room acoustic treatments, and/or Tone controls and you'll have yourself a fantastic system that your friends will envy. If you are worried about missing accessories like feet and grills then you can get them at Encompass's website. The Accessory pack for the 683 work with the 702 S2.

Smooth
Sounds smooth, gets loud with the right power, hadn't heard any distortion yet. Im happy with how they sound.

Speakers sound good.
These speakers sound good. Got the gloss black so smudges easily occur - but that's okay and no surprise. Got a well used, open box pair and the condition is pretty good.

Amazing!
These are absolutely fantastic towers but they require a good amplifier to really drive them to their full potential. The separated tweeters provide rich highs, the midrange stands apart from a lot of other speakers, and paired with a Rel High-Level connection, they’re nearly unstoppable in their price class. As with any good speaker, a good amplifier really opens up a new world of sound to them. I’ve heard them through a McIntosh MA252 vs. a good AVR and it really makes a difference.
