B&W 702 Signature vs The original B&W 702 S2

Bowers Wilkens newer 702 Signature Speaker built off of the 702 S2 series. Upgraded crossovers,cabinet, tuning,etc.
Has anyone performed a side by side comparison? I have the 702 S2 and wondering if the upgrade is worth the cost or just jump to the 803 D3.

The B&W’s are revealing and must be mated properly and placed appropriately.  It’s really not that hard and the reward is a stunningly lifelike recreation of a recording. I’ve owned Focal speakers...boring.

Thank you for your opinion on the Signatures. My 702 S2 have more then enough power from my McIntosh.

I’ve owned them for almost 3 years. But I see the 803’s in my future.

Has anyone here used the 702 S2's with a Krell Vanguard integrated amp? 200 w/ch at 8 ohms. Looking to replace my old Thiel CS 2.2s and wondering if these 702s would do it. I'm looking for a clearer, cleaner sound (stereo only.)
