More resolution, tighter bass, beautiful mids…
And now, I have the 706 S3s in their place.
At twice the price of the 606s, do they blow them out of the water?
It should be noted that I had to send back the 606s before receiving the 706s. So, a direct comparison wasn’t possible. Also. I’m in a different space, with different amplification. So, I only have my memory to go off of. The 706 S3 Bookshelf was sent along with their matching stands and the matching center channel speaker the HTM72 S3.
