Although I called the 700 Series a high-value system, we're not talking ''bargain basement'' here. The system as reviewed totals $7150, and begins with the 703's, $3000-per-pair three-way floorstanders (all other models in the series are two-ways). To the 703's, we added minimonitor-sized units called the 705's, at $1500 the pair, a $300 set of dedicated stands for the 705's, the $750 HTM7 center-channel speaker, and B&W's top 700 Series powered sub, the $1600 ASW 750. (Also available in the 700 series are the floorstanding 704's, at $2200/pair, the DS 7's, $1500/pair dedicated surround models, and the $1300 ASW 700 subwoofer.)

Includes a review of the B&W 700 Series Home-Theater System consisting of the 703 Floorstanding Loudspeakers, 705 Stand Mounted Loudspeaker, HTM7 Center Channel Loudspeaker, and the ASW 750 Subwoofer!
