I definitely should have added a ‘bear in mind’ counter 😂

Bookshelf speakers with subwoofers are best for critical listening!

@InfiniteBaffle Месяц назад

Definitely offers the most flexibility!

Humm… I found that even with a sub the bookshelf ones lack scale and therefore lack realism

@connorduke4619 18 дней назад

@@harmonykardon2116 Sure that can be. Depends on room size but also whether the bookshelves in question can produce convincing midbass (a higher frequency than subbass). Dynaudios paired with high current amps are renowned for producing convincing midbass.

I've always preferred the bookshelf's over floor standards. I had the 707 s2 to my brothers 703 s2. Obviously the 703 is levels above but it's the type of sound because I found the floor standards too much of a bassy sound over cleaner sound. My brother has had a few amps arcam a25, rocksan attessa (my fav), marantz 40, rotel but has a marantz 50 for now anyway. However he has now bought focal aria 926 and they sound perfect so now I'm conflicted again haha

Bookshelves can often give you better value, especially if you don’t want a lot of low end (like myself!) The Atessa is great, I can imagine it works really well with the Focal’s!

How have I missed this channel! New subscriber here. Good comparison, currently looking at both of these. Using the B&W CM8 S1 at moment with a Naim Atom and REL T5i. I have had the PMC Twenty5 21i on home demo, impressive for size but had a hard slighty edgy sound in comparison with the CM8's. I am looking for a clear sound with lots of detail and air but not hard/harsh. Does the 704 have the same airiness/clarity of the 705? Thanks.

Welcome on board, appreciate kind words! In terms of the detail & clarity I’d say they are both very similar, I was shocked at how well the bookshelf held up against the floorstander! !

This is a great comparison and just what I have been looking for as I’m considering getting the 705s3 signature. I currently have the 704s2 and wonder how these would compare?

Thanks, glad the video helped!
