My question is, are there any non-cosmetic changes in the 702 Signature from the 702s2? I looked at the website, it does look nice, but I didn't see anything about technical changes or improvements over the 702s2. Are the changes cosmetic only?

IIRC, the crossover is upgraded.

Both models are said to now feature specially treated and upgraded bypass capacitors sourced from Mundorf, larger heatsinking and, in the case of the 702, an upgraded LF capacitor on the bass section of the crossover.

I heard the 702 S2 at the shop driven by some entry level McIntosh integrated amp and they sounded very forward bright and kinda harsh on most recordings. They might be better off driven by some warm tube gears. They aren't my kind of speakers for music but they are great and more suitable for home theater as I also heard them in one of the home theater setup at the shop. They are very revealing and quite resolved.
These 702 S2 are definitely improved upon the discontinued CM10 S2 they replaced but are still bright and kinda harsh to my taste when used for listening to music.
