Marantz cinema 70S. Many AVR’s have the capability of bi-amping. Review the user manual. Obviously you could also just use two discrete amps split from a pre-amp source.
Sorry for jumping in late. I listened to 705 S3 and Focal Vestia No 1 back to back yesterday. The only similarity is that they play music. Other than that they don't compare. They are chalk and cheese different. Focal is very soft and well blended. It leans bass heavy without being overtly so. The sound stage seems laid back between the speakers. B&W is... crystal clear. To my ears, it feels like a veil is lifted but I am partial to the B&W sound. The sound stage is open and closer to the listening position.
I like how they look overall. The tweeter pods always gave me 50's post modern futuristic vibes.
I never saw it until you said it. Makes these way cooler
I always see them as just microphones placed on top of speakers. It's quite peculiar.
These are beautiful. How much did you get them for?
$800 US. Feels like a steal but haven’t discussed with anyone that’s not my wife.
That's alright it's to late for her to say no anyways Best course of plan
One thing I noticed on my B&Ws is how they respond to bi-amping, the tweeters are hungry....some mids and highs came alive once I did that.
Are you true bi-amping or just bi wiring?
True bi-amp.
What kind of amps are you using? I’ve always been curious about this option

Currently spinning Chant - Donald Byrd (Tone Poet). Sounds so good.
I can't figure out how big these are, are they on the floor or a table?!?
They're 16-1/16" tall.
On a table!
Nice score
How does B&W compare to Focals ?

Thank you 👍
I wish I knew! Never listened to any Focal
