The 705 sig scored a number of 10's and easy to hear and see why. B&W engineers seemed to have cleared up the imbalance between midrange and high. Along the way, the often mentioned brightness of the upper trebles on display with the regular 705 has been corrected. Vocals are now better than ever, says alot considering this is traditionally a strong suit of B&W. Two dilemmas remain : whether to allout and purchase the 805 & if staying with the 705 sig, which color is better between the midnight blue and the datuk gloss?

Typical B&W sound. Very forwarded sound. Maybe a bit to much ( too bright for my taste) ? Bass maybe also a bit too much?

If you can tame the treble (a bit) they would be perfect. (toe out, absorbent room, EQ, or even high freq hearing loss would help ;-). They are precise, resolving, clear, transparent... (also expensive. You can get similar traits at less cost: e.g. Sonus Faber) But very enjoyable all in all. Check with your bank manager (or, harder, spouse).

Het laag heeft B&W bij al zijn luidsprekers op orde, de balans van het mid-hoog mag van mij iets meer naar het mid gaan. Maar begrijp dat er veel heel gelukkig worden van deze. Ik ben wel benieuw hoe deze het doen in jullie andere opstelling. Ondertussen staat het album van Beth Gibbon op het cd aankoop lijstje, dus ja music-samples helpen hier de verkoop van cd's.
