I agree whole heartedly with Dylanhenry. I own the 703's along with the HTM2 center channel but the HTM7 "is" the matched 700 series center so you did good. My HTM2 is in the nautilus line so it is arguably "higher" end however it is not exactly voice matched to my 703's being from the upper line series. Your 703's should match seamlessly with your HTM7 which is ideal. Now about the 703's.... My buddy has a set of Nautilus 802's along with the HTM1 Center. I have been able to do a direct comparison between our two systems and guess what??? His does sound a "little" better...his system also cost 10k more than mine yet there is nowhere near a 10k difference in sound quality. The 700 series is definitely the sweet spot in the B&W line from a price to performance standpoint and I have to tell you...I think the 703's are one of the most revealing and listenable speakers I've ever heard...so enjoy them!

I know I'm late to respond to this but it's so funny how brave people become when they are hiding behind a computer screen.

Ok so I can see both points, the guy has bad grammar (at least in this post) but maybe, he comes by it honestly. Typing with good grammar, if you possess it is second nature to most. The guy would have had to try pretty dang hard to "purposely" write the way he did so maybe it isn't his strong suit.


Either way the knee jerk reaction to attack and re-attack can blow up in your face (the above is a perfect illustration of this...the guy wasn't even talking to soix lol)

Bottom line, this is supposed to be a safe place for people to come to ask questions and get/give an opinion.


Let's try to be adults folks...cheers!
