I had the B&W 702 S2 and also the 705 S3. They look beautiful but they were too sibilant for me after trying several things. Suggest doing what I did, sell them and move on. Enjoy your retirement with great sounding speakers. You’ve been given a lot of good suggestions. Work with a local dealer if you can. At that price range they should help you set them up and try them in your listening room to make sure you’re happy.
