    Default B&W 804 Matrix vs new 704 S2

    hi all,

    Which of these would you good folk recommend for listening to classical and jazz, and why? I'd expect the 702s to 'perform better' not sure that always relates to sounds better tho. I'm set on B&W (just like the brand) and these are the two main contenders that pass the wife and budget tests

    I play from vinyl and digital via a Naim Nova btw.

    Used to own the 804s and so loved it for it's looks . They really hold their price but they are getting very old now . Supply must be an issue. Never compared the 700 series directly but heard it a few times . Only you can decide which you prefer , technology has moved on since the 804 started out
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
