Have had mine almost a year. There is a B&W forum that maybe a better place to post your question. I have a Rotel 1068 and they match well and Powered by Rotel 1095 amp. -
Hi, I did a comparison with the old N804 last year, and in a nutshell thought they were nearly as good. Great all-rounder and good VFM. Not quite as good as the N804 in terms of sounding a bit rougher and less well balanced, also the sound seemed to be more based in the boxes rather than the N804 sounding 'out of the box'. Shows what the curvy 804 cabinets bring to the party. The 703 was probably the best I heard up to its price point though (£2000 in the UK).Comment

If HT is your focus and if cost is a concern, the 703 is a mightly fine choice and also sustantially more open than the 704 for 2 channel music. If you are a hard core 2 channel music person, the 804S would be a sustantial upgrade.Originally posted by audiofan

I have it. The 703 on McIntosh MA6500 is so great (but I didn't try any 800 series because I was already stretching the budget..). With this amp, it was more balanced and no harshness; very musical. The 703 will sound worse than the CM series if you don't have a good amp...

Will Rotel RB-1080 (200wpc) drive 703 ok?Comment

I didn't try the RB-1080 at all, but the RB-1070/RC-1070 didn't sound good at any volume (to me). Very harsh and not musical at all. Maybe a RC-1090 would do the trick... didn't try that one either. Just to give you an idea, the RA-1062 sounded better (to me) than the 1070 combo...
I guess you will have to try for yourself, but hope that it give you an idea

I listened to B&W 603s3 (too thin), CM4 (nice), CM6 (more bass and the FST rocks) and then 703 (the best by far). When I came back to the CM6, it sounded like well localized boxes and thinner so I won't go lower than 703's. But since they sound very good (for now) on the affordable RA-1062, I can... -

OK here goes...my first post.
I currently have a pair of 703s that I use in a home theater setup (50/50 music/movies). I have an HTM3 centre and DSM7s for the rears. I use a Servo15 (v1) for my sub. Electronics consist of an AVM20 and a Rotel 1095 amp....
