Bowers & Wilkins 704 S2 [14/23] Sound notes

Sound notes

When it comes to testing loudspeaker performance,

nothing beats the human ear. Our speakers are developed

and tuned through thousands of hours of listening, across

a range of musical styles and genres. Our engineers listen

for subtle qualities such as resolution, spatial placement

and other key markers for acoustic performance. Here

are some of the tracks we think bring out the best in the

700 Series.

Sonny Boy Williamson

Keep It To Ourselves

Don’t Let Your Right Hand

Know

“It’s an astonishingly real

and occasionally quite noisy

recording that captures

everything in (and outside)

the studio, warts and all.”

Scout Niblett

Kidnapped by Neptune

Lullaby for Scout in Ten Years

“Hailing from the Midlands but

with a searing sound straight

out of Seattle, Niblett’s Black

Flag-inflected rock sounds

formidable on any model in

the range, most especially the

705 and 702. Her biting vocals

and over-driven guitar sound

arrestingly realistic and full

of energy.”

Deadmau5

While (1<2)

Seeya, featuring Colleen

D’Agostino

“Syncing ferociously powerful

electro-bass with a real-life bass

guitar, this taut, hammering

progressive house monster is

a great tester for the range’s

three-way loudspeakers.”

Lou Reed

The Raven

Vanishing Act

“Look for details such as the

amplifier gain being turned up

on his microphone just before

he starts to sing, plus the soft

shimmer of the hi-hats in the

back of the studio.”

Macy Gray

Stripped

Annabelle

“Beautifully recorded (in a decommissioned

Brooklyn Church), this live set has realism

and insight to burn. The textural details,

most notably in the guitar, are just superb.”

Mozart

Piano Sonatas K.283 & K.331,

Fantasia K.397 (Ivo Pogorelich)

Andante-Adagio-Allegretto

“This stunning recording has

exceptional presence and realism

and it’s a phenomenal tester for

both resolution and spaciousness.”
