B&W 705s3 vs Kef Meta R3

I was at Magnolia the other day and out of curiosity, I asked the salesman to play these 2 speakers back to back.  I really couldn't believe how muffled the Metas were compared to the Bowers.  I then compared other bigger models of each and heard the same sound signature.  What was the problem here?  I've owned a ton of different speakers and never heard quite a contrast.  I should add that I am biased towards Kef.

 

Has anyone else out there compared these 2 lines in a real world setting?

Troy, most definitely bro.  This post had me stumped.  I think you might have been correct about the wiring.  I'll report back.

 

I have the 703 S2 that I got for next to nothing.  I just couldn't figure out why such a difference

 

I know what you mean about magnolia vs a good stereo shop.  

 

Anyways, thanks about the connection idea.  I'll report back
