I am thinking about getting a new home cinema system in the future

Anyone heard the B&W 700 series and what are they like? Cheers.

In your bedroom? 5.1 system?

I would look at the Monitor Audio Silver 7G series personally:

Silver Series 7G | Hi-Fi Speakers | Monitor Audio

From bookshelf speakers to floorstanders, the Monitor Audio Silver Series 7G offers exceptionally lifelike sound for your hi-fi or home theatre set-up.

I am looking at the B&W 704 s2, 703 and 702 speakers and I have read different amp watt power ratings for them, and my Pioneer Sc-lx81 apparently has 190 watts of power. So I am wondering do you have to have the speakers with the watt power for the amp? Thanks.

Thanks BB! I am just going to keep with my B&W Formation Duo speakers and use them as my new home cinema system through Bluetooth and through Spotify. Blu-ray player etc.. cheers mate. The power is awesome! Do you think I should add the Formation Bass to the Duo?

Do you really think I'm going to advise you to spend more money?

I’ve added the bass (got a cheap ex demo) and the sound has got even better!

The Formation App is retiring in a few weeks, use B&W music App instead:

B&W Music App delivers complete music control to Formation multi-room range

B&W is launching a control app for its Formation multi-room range, which includes Qobuz, Tidal, TuneIn and more
