Customer Ratings & Reviews

It was time to replace my early 90s B&W 600 series speakers. These speakers are smaller but pack a punch with B&W’s legendary tweeters and mid bass woofers. Luckily I got a great deal as these were open box priced.

Bowers and Wilkins 707 s2 used in a 2.1 setup for music listening in a small to medium sized room—they’re fantastic. Build quality is premium. It’s a heavy speaker for its compact size. If you’re upgrading from budget speakers, it’s like going from a Toyota Corolla to driving a Mercedes. Less expensive speakers can get the job done, but what you get from the 707 s2 is refinement. The speakers are resolving. If you crave rich bass, add a subwoffer. Paired with a sub with the crossover frequency adjusted, they’re an absolute treat. Feed the speakers power, use good sources, high-quality music, and you’ll be rewarded with a solid listening experience. Clean and minimalist is the design of the 707 s2. It has magnetic grilles. The sound quality is excellent. It’s expensive—but if you’re interested and think this speaker will be an match for your room and system, go for it with confidence.

This is the best speaker I never have towards your movies to listen in music totally this is the best speakers. I have too bay another pair.

I love these speakers. They are gorgeous and compact. Their ability to render the highs is exceptional. The drawback is that they don't do much bass and I would deduct a half star if I could do that because of this. I knew this going in however and paired it with an SVS sub specifically which is just incredible at rendering a wide range of all frequencies in the low end so it doesn't just go "boom boom". I set the receiver at LFE+Main for the sub and set the low pass filter near the SVS's upper range at 220. The result? It puts a big smile on my face every time I power up!

I purchased these speakers to replace 20 year-old rear surround speakers. I decided to upgrade to Bowers & Wilkins to replace another speaker system. I decided to break-in these speakers 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 had considered upgrading to the more expensive B & W speakers that has the tweeter placed on top of the speaker cabinet (like the 702 S2's that I have for my main speakers. I decided to use the smaller speaker and couldn't have been more pleased with my choice. These 2-way speakers blow away more expensive speakers. Plus, they look great and have a small footprint.

Bought as open box...said "excellent" but not quite. Visible marks...but sounds fantastic! Really astonishing sound, especially considering how small these speakers really are.

Amazing bookshelf speakers, better than the KEF LS50. This has the Bowers & Wilkins sound that is their signature. It is a little lively but it is very detailed. This replaced a 600 series B&W and this was noticeably better within the first few minutes

Wonderful sounding mini-monitor from B&W, best for small and medium sized rooms, punchy bass with very extended high's

I was setting up my system with Kef and was highly considering the LS50 metas to complete my system…. But I couldn’t get the Bowers out of my head. I demo’d them at Best Buy maybe 3 times and compared them to the kefs and just liked the overall tone of these 700’s. I matched it with a bowers center speaker and put the kefs as my surrounds. I’m planning on getting another set to complete the sound or upgrading to the next level up for my mains. Vagon at Best Buy helped me with all my speaker needs and was patient with my demanding requests of demoing LOL. I’m not that bad but I loved his feed back and if he didn’t know answers to my questions, he looked it up on the spot.

The trouble is, I bought these to replace a pair of JBL 4400 studio monitors that had died, not being willing to pay the $4,000 or so in order to get comparable sound. An unfair standard, for sure. The bass and midrange out of these tiny speakers is remarkably good. The high-end, not so much. I had expected the opposite. I’ve kept these speakers, confident that they are at least as good as any others at this price.

They sound as good as they look and they complement the towers I have well!

Perfect in every way for me. Wanted to create a gorgeous soundscape in a small room and these absolutely did it for me. Definitely need a sub — I bought the B&W ASW608. Not fully happy with its tuning yet but it certainly rounds out the sound. Also echo other reviews regarding the in-store experience. It was great to be able to audition the speakers before buying and everything was in stock. Love!

Because of these speakers, I can enjoy music in a way that I have never heard it from a recording. I have floor standing Bowers and Wilkins speakers, but this pair provide the "icing on the cake" that I have been missing for so many years. Definitely keepers for life.

I realize that these speakers are not cheap (price) but wow do they make a difference in listening quality when paired with a good preamp, AVR, AMP etc. the listening quality from the cabinet is really good, I am a huge Sonus Faber fan and have multiple speakers but these B&W are really nice to listen too! if you can and they are in your purchasing range do yourself a favor buy a pair, you wont be disappointed.

Great item for the price. Got an open box like new. Amazing options from BestBuy, even if this is not the latest model.

B&W are one of the best speakers you can buy. The quality of sound that come out of these small speakers are incredible.

So far, it looks beautiful. Still need to get it perfectly set up and waiting for my amplifier to come.

Perfectly paired with slightly older Bowers & Wilkins CM8 floor standing speakers. Great choice in the bookshelf speaker category. Puts a slight dent in the pocket book but well worth it in the long run!

This is my first Bowers & Wilkins speaker Let me tell you does not disappoint is clear warm, bass is enough to keep you entertained voice are clear is well balance Is worth every penny. I used and old NAD 712 Going to try a Onkyo using a digital connection uuuuu mmm can waite. PS. This are good for a small to medium size room.

Awesome little speakers. Paired with a subwoofer from Best Buy and now have a great sounding system.
