    Question to B&W 705 owners?

    I am wondering how far apart you have your 705's from each other? Also how far from the wall do you have them placed?

    Mine are at the rear these days but they started life in an equilateral triangle with the listening position about 50cm to 60cm from the rear wall.

    What have you tried and what do you prefer?

    I bet yours would sound better if you threw a blanket over that big TV.

      I have mine only 10 inches from the wall and about 7 feet apart. I am going to mess with the speaker distance to see if I can't improve the soundstage a bit.

        705 bass problem
        by ref3706
        Hi guys,

        I'm a newbie to hi-fi. I can't seem to get any bass from my 705s. The bass is rather soft. I'm not expect deep sounding bass from the 705s, but rather tight and firm bass. I'm using the system purely to listen to music, not HT.

        My equipment as follows

        A Problem with my 705?
        by Ronel S
        Hello Everyone,

        This is my first post and sorry for my english. I know I would be able to get insights from this forum.

        I just got my new pair of 705, 3 weeks ago. This is a replacement of my 2-year old 602's used for my 2 channel stereo system. On the first time I heard...

        705's as rear speakers
        by htsteve
        I'm considering switching my HT room around (less light interference and my wife is letting me buy new gear as part of switch :T) One thing I am considering is going to 705's as rear speakers. I currently have SCM8's in back on the wall (7' high, slightly in front of listening position). Up front...

        Sweet sounding B&W 705......... Finally
        by Briz vegas
        The 705 did not get much love on this forum. The story was one about the treble, and it wasn't liked much for that reason. I struggled with them and ended up with 804s, then finally Vivid B1s, all of which I still own.

        So, what is the new role for my frustrating 705s that makes them...
