And 2 months ago they dropped the price by just over 25% so I snapped a pair up & don't regret it. They sound amazing.

Having just demo'd these two speakers side by side and also the KEF LS 50's and Def Tech D11's, I was blown away by the BW 707 S2's. The clarity, sound stage, and over all crispness of the sound is the best I have ever heard in stand mount speakers. I listened to these on a $2500 Marantz AVR, I can't imagine how good these could sound with a proper amp/per-amp set up with more power. The 707 S2's will be my next speaker purchase for sure. Thanks for the detailed review.

@@gunawanwidjaja2746 Speaakers, then avr, and last amp. I am on a budget and you can optimize your speakers around your avr. Yamaha a2a 100w per channel so I'm just getting speakers that are not power hungry, but still high quality. The subwoofer will be the one you can get away with since most have a built in amp.

After thirty years longing for 2-channel again I went to my local hifi-dealer in 2020. They presented Bluesound Powernode 2i(2x60 watt). They had paired it with B&W 707 s2. At first when listening to it in their listening room I thought they were pulling my leg. My first thought was "How is it possible that these small loudspeakers with this small amplifier can sound so fantastic". It was just jaw-dropping. For instance, the bass coming out from these small elements is amazing. The problem I have now is that it sounds better than my other amplifier which cost 4 times more.

Very useful to help me decide between both. Thanks!

Amazing video as always buddy.

I have my 2nd pair of B&W CM1 and can relate... ;) If those 707 did evolve must be really good!

Excellent review!

Great video, Thanks. In my opinion Matt finish looks good and elegant than the glossy one.

i heard of the previous CM version of it. The high frequency is so different. sound so real and not sound like tweeter sound. compare the CM and the lower version, its totally different sound signature. i believe the upgrade from B&W will carry over the advantage too. but i really really love the tweeter sound.

Hi Tharbamar, i am new and i really like a pair of bw 606 or 607 for music listen, can you suggest the best medium amplifier for these speakers ? How about the Denon AMP or Yamaha AS...? Tks

707s seem like a very solid choice. 👍🏻

So I bought a pair of the 606 which has a larger mid driver. Picked it in white but thinking about sending them back for matte black or going all in on the piano black 702... my concern besides price is whether my marantz 7013 can power the 702?

I have the 705 S2. Get the 707s you will not be disappointed.

Would you advise to use them as Top Front speakers (like for Atmos setup)? As B&W doesn't have specific Atmos speakers I though to use a pair of these 607 S2 for that...

Thanks for doing this! It's good to have this as a future reference. I'm just curious how RP-600M would compare, even though they are not mini-monitors.

Very nice. You are the best. Please someone let me know amplifier suitable for it to get its quality of sound

If I buy 2 paie of B&w 607 and htm6 and a sub pairing with Marantz 5014. Would it be good for home theater for movie and music? For the amount I spend for these, do you think there’s a better choice? Would really appreciate your comment!

Hi, how does B&W 607 vs B&W 606 S2 in term of sound quality?

I just listened to the 606 Anniversary,. I was very impressed with the detail just thought it sounded sibilant & bright (as u mentioned) with half the tracks I listened to. Maybe it was Yamaha reciever it was powered by. I have a Rotel integrated, maybe it's warmer than the Yamamha.

Perhaps it was more correct to review the 606 and 706 models because they have the larger woofers that best match the brilliant tweeter (especially in the 606 that also won the Eisa award 2019/2020).

Would you know how do these compare to Martin Logan 35xt?

Any recommendation on the speakers within 1000 $, --- to upgrade from a pair of JBL 305....

I understand that you can not compare this, but what do you say about B&W 606 vs B&W CM8. And what do you think about B&W CM8 ???

I have a pair of B&W 805N in mint condition despite hers age... I'm very curious about this battle 805N vs 707s2... Any Ideia if it would be a downgrade, sidegrade or upgrade? Tks mann

The 707 S2 sounds amazing with a Marantz PM8006 integrated amplifier and lossless audio, CDs, and vinyl!

Is there no difference in the midrange between thoose two? Because you said the 707 has the better look and better tweeter. The B&W 700 Series is in the price range of Monitor Audio Gold Series, Dali Rubicon Series usw so I would wonder if the difference is only in midrange.

sir, Can I pair B&W 607 to Marantz PM5005 with 40 watts per channel @ 8 ohms?

I hear a lot of complaints about the highs on the B&W, but I don't hear this problem at all with my 707 S2s. I actually find that "pop" at the high end nice to listen to, it's lively and punchy sounding to my ears. That said, I don't listen to much music at high volumes so the harshness at louder volumes might not be liked by some.

I bought a full set of 600 S3 about 16 years ago and really love them. The build quality, attention to detail, and the many sound enhancing feature are really great. I find today’s 600 series too plain, just a simple square box with a basic finish. I’m sure they sound great. The 700 is a step up but it takes going to the 800 to get truly refined craftsmanship. My LCR has the nice sounding 6.5” kevlar midrange across all speakers, which together with the aluminum tweeter provides a nice and open soundstage. I really love the detailed sound. I listened to the 804s and fell in love with it and would like to listen to the 700s. There are many great sounding speakers out there, however love the B&W sound, truly great speakers.

I would get 607s and replace its 4usd tweeter capacitor with high end capacitor say 100usd each , this tweek Will transform the tweeter performance , speakers will disapear in space and highs will loose a bit of sizzle that hard dome tweeters have. I have done it on 686s2 and they sound cleaner in highs than 707! 4.3uf capacitor is the one and only single part in the crossover so swaping it from stock 4usd part does make these tweeters sound phenomenal!

I was using DB X app via Apple TV.

I bought both and returned the 707s. Mostly because I have a smaller room and live in a townhouse. The 707s definitely have a lot more bass. Both are incredible speakers but the 607s are definitely the best bang for your buck and more of a versatile speaker imop. I didnt feel it was much of an "upgrade" If you did a blind test the bass would stand out more than the tweeter on the 707s.. If you ever upgrade just use the 607s as rears. If I had a a slightly larger room the 707s would be my first pick but I don't hear much of a jump in price to performance vs the 600 series.

how about the bowers 606 with a 6.5 woofer

If my fronts are 805d3 and center is HTM2D3, would the 607 be good enough for my surrounds? The problem is the place i would put them in is quite tight and the depth size of the 707 is much deeper than the smaller 607 but the question is, can the 607 keep up with my other speakers? My room is only small at 4m x 4.5m x 2.4m height (18sqm or 1500cuft). Amp is marantz pre plus emotiva xpa6 for surrounds and atmos and rotel rmb1858 for LCR. Subs are dual PSA3611 (18").

607's now on sale for $489.90 a pair. great deal for little speakers

I guess it comes down to how you are going to use a bookshelf speaker. These do look a bit large for desktop use, which would put them up on stands and forced to fill an entire listening room. 84dB isnt great but its not extraordinarily low for modern bookshelves where trying to get a small cabinet to deliver bass forces designers to specify less sensitive woofers. I know its hardly an apples-to-apples comparison, but my 'cheap charlie' rig is fine on my desktop despite the Edifier P17 measuring 77dB sensitivity and my little t-amp pushing out all of 50W on a good day. I can easily get this combination to uncomfortable listening levels and would have no problem annoying my neighbours if I was that kind of deads*it. I considered upgrading to the iLoud Micro Monitors (no messing around with a separate amp) but if something isn't broke, why throw more money at it ? I could afford the 607 (to my surprise, Australian retailers havent doubled the US price) but that would be complete overkill for me atm. Thanks for the video.

Hi, when you have decided to go for B&W, better don't compromise on AVR, I personally felt these speakers are giving great output from any one of these four Marantz avr: 5015, 6015, 7015 / 8015. 5015 should be good enough for medium sized room and it delivers a GREAT sound from these B&W 600 anniversary edition series. - This is my personal opinion based on experience. There could be other better options too, if you come to know / already did some research please share it. Thanks..

Good video

I review audio as well, and I own the 707 S2. Run with a Naim Atom or Nova or my Vinnie Rossi L2i SE they are stunners. Beat my LS50 with ease, beat Proac Tablette Anniversary for me as well (double the cost). The 707 S2 are now $1499 btw, but well worth it. Amazing speakers in a small space (my room is 12X13). Haven't heard better in this size up to $3k. I even prefer the 707 S2 in many ways to my Dynaudio Special 40's. To me the 607 were nice but had a more hollow type of sound going on when directly compared to the 707. The 707's are rich, meaty, yet delicate and detailed with a massive soundstage and air.

In fact you’re completely mistaken, there is no criteria for monitors to be active, not only so, but the high end to ”studio reference ” border is a pretty blurred. Pretty much comes down to studio settings prefering near-mid field and those have with time embraced active amplification, which might be considered industry standard, but not by definition.

There's no requirement that a monitor needs to be active. Its irrelevant. Also, you need to define active. In home audio, a speaker is considered active if it has a built in amplifier. For studio applications, active refers to the xover. And yes, I know you can find some examples that contradict this, but its not the norm.

Yes, 706 S2 and 705 S2 are in different league.

I have never heard a Bowers and Wilkins tweeter that did not sound harsh to me. This includes the highly touted diamond tweeter. I am speaking from exeprience, since I have owned B and Ws in the past and gone to numerous B and W demo nights at a local dealer. I am not sure I would use the term "accurate" to describe B and Ws. In or around this price range, I find NHT and PSB to be more accurate, if by "accurate" you mean flat frequency response. I switched from B and W to the NHT C-3 and was amazed how much smoother the aluminum dome on the NHT sounded than any B and W tweeter I have heard. Another sonic characteristic of B and W I dislike is the somewhat recessed response in the presence range. If you like the B and Ws, go for it, but do yourself a favor and check out some other brands first before making your decision. I believe there are better speakers than the B and Ws for the same or even less monney.

It is not how much better I get for my money. It’s just if it sounds better to my ear and I can afford it, then I will always take the one I prefer more.
