MWTS: Gorgeous B&W 705 speakers (Cherry)

Might want to let go of a gorgeous pair of Made in England B&W 705 speakers (cherry color). Reason selling: it’s under-utilised. (Speaker stands in photo not included)

Stunning design, audiophile sound quality, uncolored tonality and very smooth-sounding. Its elegant design & sound quality is so close to the reference B&W 800 series such that it was rumoured that the 700 series was discontinued because it indirectly 'canabalised' the 800 series sales.

The free-mounted famous Nautilus tweeter give it excellent sound separation, sound stage and great stereo imaging. And, although being a bookshelf, when placed on good filled stands, I was surprised that the  705’s bass is surprisingly strong & tight. Great for both stereo music & HT.

Used for about 8 years, but it’s in superb condition as u can see in the photo. Wood is beautiful (no major scratches), frequently maintained with wood oil.

Tweeter & driver are in excellent condition, no dents/ defects (see photo). Comes with speaker grills.  It's a small cosmetic thing but just to mention here that the black rubber lining surrounding the plastic tweeter holder has the usual cosmetic issue that all 7-series face. I’ve neatly carved it out so that it looks pretty (see photo). It doesn’t affect the sound in any way (confirmed by the local agent).

Retail price for a new set was about $2.7k. Letting go @ $1200. Interested, please leave me a message at 9677-nine-four-94 stating your name and offer. Lowballers pls stay away

Self-collection at Boon Keng area. Functional test allowed.
