What the 700 S2 Speakers Have in Common
Continuum™ Drivers
One thing that will jump out when you pull the cover off a 700 S2 series is the silver color of the Continuum™ driver. B&W pioneered the use of Kevlar for drivers decades ago and used this for many years. Continuum™ was developed for the 800 series and received accolades from all over the world in how it pushed midrange and midbass clarity to a new level. They actually spent over 8 years and tried 70 different versions of this new material until they were satisfied.
Their Continuum™ driver has far lower distortion than any material their engineers could find. The end listening result is a midrange that sounds super effortless while also letting you hear even further into the recording, allowing your ears to pick up on those very subtle details that make recorded music sound more like real life. All 700S2 speakers use this great new driver technology.
Carbon Double Dome Tweeters
While diamond dust has proven to be the ultimate tweeter dome material for the B&W engineers, it’s certainly not very affordable! B&W discovered a very lightweight carbon dome allowing them to extend its usable frequency response out to more than double the range of human hearing to an incredible 47,000 Hz. This is used with their Double Dome design, which again trickled down from the 800 models. If you were to take the tweeter apart, you would find an inner and outer dome. This design reduces distortion.
What our ears hear with this Carbon Double Dome tweeter is a high-frequency presentation that is light and airy. Cymbals really take on a “you are there” quality with never the slightest trace of harsh sound.
Highly Braced Cabinets
B&W invented what they call Matrix cabinet bracing decades ago. The idea of a speaker enclosure is to just let the speaker drivers do their job with no additional coloration or change to the sound. B&W found through their laser analysis that by applying a lot of internal bracing, the cabinet added far less to the audio signal. The 700 S2 speakers have triple bracing inside. If you just rap your knuckles on any of the cabinets and you’ll see what they mean. They almost feel like you are rapping on a brick!
Flowport Technology
To improve the sensitivity of the 700 S2 series, all of them have ported cabinets. This type of design is very common in loudspeakers. A port allows air to escape the cabinet, but it has the disadvantage of how it reacts when it leaves the cabinet. Many companies just stick in a little port and call it a day, but the team at Stening, UK analyzed all kinds of port designs to come up with the one that performed best. Again, it’s their dedication to using science to improve sound that helps set them apart.
Matched Drivers All Around
If you’re thinking about the 700 S2 series for home theater, rest assured that you will have totally consistent sound for your surround sound as they all use basically the same drivers. This provides a seamless experience for special effects that pan around your room.
