I got the 702s2 since 2 years now, have used them with many stereo & power amps.
What i learned is the more power given, the better they sound. I mean good clean current is needed for B&W speakers.
I think you should be happy with the Performance as u got the PS GCA250 which has decent output.

Enjoy..

Thanks sir .my speakers are yet to be delivered.will be receiving them at the end of sept first week.
Since this is blind buy purely on brand name and irrestible offer ,i was curious and also anxious how they would be sounding.

They're quite impressive speakers & You won't be disappointed (after 300hrs if they are brand new 😉).

Just don't pair with anything which is very bright sounding and employ decent quality cables ; Speaker positioning matters a lot. PS Audio should be decent enough. Keep us posted

I agree on the burn in for the bass drivers especially, was going to mention quality cables but didn't want to start some stupid debate, you now what i mean ;)
 
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
