Dude, You did a great job! Your English is just fine. Thanks for the insight!

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.

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.

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. Lifetime mini speakers ; )

Great review! Really appreciate your simple explanations as it puts it into perspective. I purchased the 607’s and have been very pleased! The price went up $100 about three months after I purchased. I bi-wired to my Yamaha amp. Great sound! Thank you again for your reviews!

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!

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

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.

Nice review. I just got a pair of 607 S2s and they are excellent. Amazing soundstage and clarity. Dense product just opens up with so much nuance.

[JEG]

707s seem like a very solid choice. 👍🏻

[SpikeoutBattleStreet]

Thanks for great comparison!
Keep on the good works!👍👍👍

[johnnymossville]

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.

[mohansk]

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

[lyndonramchatesingh]

Hey tharbamar have u tried or listen to d new b&w anniversary edition in d 607 or 606 I want to know which is better

[robertbradley]

Loved the review. You have good english! Very informative. Thanks!

[filipepaninho]

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

[stevenoconnor]

What may be a interesting try is to check out bowers and Wilkins 606.

[arnaudd]

Very useful to help me decide between both. Thanks!
