He found the treble detailed and at times forward on bright recordings, and the bass a little lean for a large room, so the 703 is happiest in a medium-sized room or with a subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eB\u0026amp;W recommends 30 to 200 W into 8 Ω; with 90 dB sensitivity and a 3.1 Ω minimum, a good solid-state amplifier is the right match.
