Bowers & Wilkins - 706 S2 Rosewood / 2-Way Standmount/Bookshelf Speaker set

The Bowers & Wilkins 706 S2 is the larger monitor model in the 700 S2 series, finished in the attractive Rosewood (rosewood veneer). Within this line, the loudspeakers are best known for adopting technologies from the more expensive 800 series, notably the woven silver-colored Continuum cone and the Carbon Dome tweeter. This combination creates a very open and direct midrange where voices and acoustic instruments come forward clearly, without the treble sounding sharp or aggressive. Thanks to the 6.5-inch woofer and the somewhat larger cabinet, they also deliver a fuller and deeper low end than the more compact 707 S2.
The set is complete with the original factory cartons, the magnetic grilles, and the two-part foam bungs to dampen the bass ports a bit if placed close to a wall.
Condition-wise, the pair is in very neat, undamaged condition. Both the cabinets and the wood veneer as well as the units themselves show no dents, scratches, or other visible damage.
