Our flagship centre-channel loudspeaker, the HTM71 S3 features a Carbon Dome drive unit housed in a Tweeter-On-Top enclosure, making it the perfect match for its 705 S3, 703 S3 and 702 S3 stablemates. This approach allows for outstanding integration and an even-more-immersive listening experience across our premium 700 Series-based surround sound systems. The HTM71 S3 also features a 5” Continuum Cone FST midrange driver complete with our Biomimetic Suspension– particularly important for clarity with dialogue. Twin aerofoil profile bass drivers provide create a rock-solid foundation for dynamic performance.

  • Carbon Dome Tweeter: Carbon Dome tweeters deliver a dramatic improvementon the aluminium double dome tweeter, raising the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail. The closest performance to our Diamond Dome Tweeters.
  • Solid Body Tweeter: Our redesigned Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing. A more elongated form incorporates a longer tubeloading system to produce an even more free and open sound. The decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminium to better resist resonance.
  • Continuum Cone: Continuum is a woven composite that blends control with flexibility. The result is breathtaking clarity. Hear voices, guitars and bass instruments with precision and transparency.
  • Biomimetic Suspension: Biomimetic Suspension revolutionises midrange cone performance by greatly reducing the unwanted air pressure and coloration that a conventional fabric spider can generate. The result? Midrange transparency you wouldn’t believe possible.
  • Aerofoil Bass: Advanced computer modeling carbon fiber and a syntactic core are used to produce a cone with maximum stiffness where it’s needed most. This optimised shape means the cone displays pistonic behaviour further up the audible range, producing precise, controlled and utterly lifelike bass.
  • Finishes: This model is available in Gloss Black, Mocha and Satin White.
  • Magnetic Grills: Each model includes magnetic speaker grills.

Q: How does this center channel compare with the previous model HTM71 S2? I notice the bass cones are smaller in this model. Thank you.

A: Hi Victoria, We increased the midrange driver from 4" to 5" and reduced the bass drivers to 5". This allowed us to place the tweeter on top in milled aluminum enclosure, which improved the sense of height and clarity you hear when listening to voices. The increased size of the midrange driver offset the smaller bass drivers. We believe that the net improvement over the HTM71S2 is quite noticeable and encourage you to have a listen.
