Jammer, klinken fantastisch (zie keurige b&w speakers. Als occasion gekochtvoor mijn vrouw maar ze is overgestapt naar een all-in-one set.
It’s a buyer’s market at this level, and €475 looks like a solid buy for a B&W 705 S2 rather than a stretch. Against the recent comparable asking prices, it sits right on the median and just above the 25th percentile, so this is broadly fair to attractive pricing rather than a bargain-bin score, but still well inside the range where a buyer should feel comfortable.
The 705 S2 is well liked for its crisp detail, clean imaging, and easy placement on good stands, so it remains a rewarding compact monitor if the rest of the chain is up to it. At this price, the real upside is simply getting a respected standmount without paying “special edition” money; just confirm both drivers are healthy, the cabinets are clean, and any original grilles or packaging are included if you care about resale.

Bowers & Wilkins, the esteemed British hi-fi brand, traces its origins to 1966 in Worthing, West Sussex, when John Bowers founded the company with a £10,000 bequest from a satisfied customer, Miss Knight, who admired his hobby-crafted loudspeakers. Previously, Bowers and Roy Wilkins had run an electronics rental shop after meeting in the British Army during World War II. This fortuitous legacy fueled Bowers' obsession with acoustic perfection, launching the P1 as their inaugural product and establishing a foundation of relentless innovation in speaker design.
The brand excels in premium loudspeakers across categories like floorstanders, bookshelves, and studio monitors, with iconic lines such as the 600 Series for accessible excellence and the legendary 801, adopted as Abbey Road Studios' reference in 1979. They also produce high-end headphones like the P5 and Zeppelin, formation audio systems, and select electronics, prioritizing driver technology, cabinetry, and precise engineering over amplifiers, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Bowers & Wilkins commands reverence among discerning audiophiles and professionals for its clarity, musical truth, and uncompromised fidelity. A staple in both consumer and studio environments, it embodies British precision engineering, blending heritage with cutting-edge research to sustain its status as a benchmark for premium audio excellence.
