What are you powering your speakers with? And did you break the speakers in at all yet?

I have a Marantz receiver, SR 5015, and am just avoiding any sharp changes in volume on the S2 for a bit.

Nice! I have a Denon x3300 and an Anthem MRX520 I will be trying both on the new center channel and see which combo is best, after I rack up a bit of break-in on it.

Cant go wrong with Denon. Have had a couple over the years.

Yeah, I agree. I'm thinking the Denon's warmer presentation might be a better match with the B&W, as I've read many people find them very crisp in the treble... might cause a bit of sibilance issues with the Anthem, but I guess I'll see how it goes 700 s2 series are supposedly a bit of a departure from the usual B&W sound signature.

I had a pair of the bookshelf speakers for a while, and even though they sounded good, the S2's add more bass to the mix. You will love them.
