    my 705 just fall during vacuuming!

    My topic title says enough:

    While I was vacuuming just a moment ago my 705 fall from its 60cm Atacama Nexus stand! :cry: :cry: :cry: . I think I MIGHT be lucky that he fell flat on its BACK. the corners of the backside of the 705 are a little bit damaged now.

    I m not hearing any strnage things from the speaker but how can I test if some broke inside? And IS it reasonable that something broke inside the speaker or do I not have to worry?

    I doubt anything broke inside...there's really not much to break, everything should be pretty secure in there.

    Only way to know for sure is to open it up, but if nothing rattles when you shake the speaker and it sounds normal. You are fine (most likely).

    Sounds like you just got some damage to the cabinet itself.

        the last time my 705 got some damage to the cabinet i changed it to the new 805s. :T
        Even little damage can take away the pretty look of the speaker.

          hey don't make him feel bad. if your speakers still sound good, don't worry too much with the looks. accidents happen, it's part of life. but if you really want to make sure nothing's broken inside, bring it to your dealer/service center for diagnosis/advice.

            But still... that sucks.
            I had one of my boys knock down my 805 this summer. LUCKILY, the 805 was bolted to the stand, and the stand didn't fall all the way as the tv table stopped it. But seeing the 805 at 45 degrees was a bad sight.
            I hope it doesn't cause you any problems.

              602s3 to 705 - My thoughts
              by Kate-br
              Not sure if it worth mentioning my little testings, but...

              Before buying the 705, I asked a friend to help me decide...


              I have tested some other speakers before the final decision:

              - 602s3 (already had);
              - Kef iQ90;
              - Kef XQ20;

              Hello

              I am considering buying a new set of speakers (and surround receiver). My main objective is to keep good music and possibly get some surround for movies. I will comment only on front channel speakers…

              Decision about Rotel Onkyo amp, cd player and B&W 685, 705 speakers
              by kobestonecold
              HI guys i am new here so please help. I have the mini theater MT20 but i want to build another HI-FI. Anyway, i went to my local store to have a quick listen to B&W 685 and 705 side by side. The 705 was a little bit better than 685 in term of bright and clarity. Anyway, the local store used Onkyo...

              Musings on trying out the 705 and 805
              by hired goon
              G'day,

              So I went to a the local B&W dealer tonight, and performed some serious auditions on the 805, mainly testing out the lower end. It's good, better than I thought, but not quite perfect. However, I reckon the imaging, detail, and openness of the 805s more than compensate for...

              B&W 705's or 703's as fronts ?
              by nmain
              Hi All,

              I recently had the chance to demo some B&W 705's bi-wired and using the bi-amp feature on the arcam avr300, in a room about 4*5m's. I was happy with the two channel and surround sound, but thought that the 705's didn't quite have the volume I am after, at 80% of the arcam's...
