B&W 704 Floorstanding Monitor

Floor-standing speakers, with their extra bass power, are generally more suited to larger rooms, although this does not preclude their use in smaller ones. The 704 is the smaller of the two floor-standers in the Series and is a 2-way system. Bass frequencies are produced by both cone drivers operating in parallel. To maintain a better vertical dispersion of sound, the lower driver is progressively attenuated above 150Hz to leave the upper Kevlar® cone driver operating alone through the midrange.
