Bowers and Wilkins 705 S2

The 705 S2 is the top model of the three bookshelf speakers in the 700 Series 2, all two-way designs. It and the 706 S2 both measure 13.4H x 7.8W x 11.2D, and have the same 6.5 inch Continuum midrange-bass driver and 1 inch carbon-dome tweeter. The main difference between them is that the 705 S2 inch tweeter is isolated from the cabinet, housed atop it in its own pod of machined aluminum, in the distinctive tweeter on top arrangement used in B&W's 800 models for decades now.
