705 S3 is our ultimate 700 Series bookshelf speaker, a no-holds-barred celebration of excellence able to highlight all the subtle nuances in your music that other speakers miss. Its Carbon Dome tweeter is housed in a redesigned Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top enclosure used in 800 Series Diamond products. That joins a subtly curved baffle endowed with a ‘pod’ housing for its Continuum Cone bass/midrange driver, ensuring that you hear less of the speaker’s cabinet, and more of the music you love.
- 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.
- Curved Baffle: This allows the midrange and bass drivers to be located in individual housings that sit proud of the speaker baffle. When combined with the curvature of the structure, this approach reduces the audible impact of the cabinet, creating a cleaner, more open and more immersive sound.
- Finishes: This model is available in Gloss Black, Mocha and Satin White.
- Optional Speaker Stand: The FS-700 S3 is the perfect match.
- Magnetic Grills: Each model includes magnetic speaker grills.
- Step up from 705S3: Looking for a performance step up? The 705 S3 is the top of the line bookshelf speaker in the 700 Series. You will either need to step into the 805D4 if you are looking for a better bookshelf speaker, or the 703S3 if you want to stay in the same product series.

A: We provide two frequency measurements. Frequency response and frequency range. Frequency response is a classic anechoic measurement that has a +3/-3db variation and a frequency extreme of 50Hz at the low end and 28kHz at the top end. However, that's an anechoic measurement which does not reflect how speakers perform in real acoustic spaces. This is why we have a frequency range spec. Frequency range reflects what you are most likely going to experience in an actual acoustic space. The low frequency response in that spec is 45Hz, and be able to hear that reflected in instruments like a double bass.
Q: Can you use 705 S2 stands with 705 S3? Stand model FS-700-S2
A: Yes, size and weight between these two very similar.

R3 Meta redefines bookshelf speaker’s performance. Sharing the same drivers as the range-topping R11 Meta, the R3 Meta is a true three-way design. It has a 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT and a powerful 6.5” hybrid aluminum bass driver that pushes performance to the extreme.
The 706 S3 is an outstanding bookshelf speaker for use in larger spaces. Thanks to its decoupled Carbon Dome tweeter and carefully upgraded crossover, it provides exceptional detail and insight into your music, while its substantial 6.5in Continuum Cone bass/midrange drive unit provides ample scale and extension. Like its 705 S3 sibling, it performs at its best on the optional FS-700 S3 stand.
702 S3 is our 700 Series flagship: a state-of-the-art floorstanding speaker that defines standards for performance in its class. Its Carbon Dome tweeter is housed in a Solid Body Tweeter assembly, derived from 800 Series Diamond. That ensures even more realistic treble, while its decoupled midrange assembly, enhanced here with our revolutionary Biomimetic Suspension, provides outstanding midrange transparency and openness. And thanks to its downward-firing port configuration and its trio of Aerofoil Profile bass cones, 702 S3 can deliver bass that’s both profoundly deep and endlessly articulate. If you want the best in the series, this is it.

A worthy successor
Coming from previous versions of this speaker the upgrades are substantial. Everything from improved bass extension, smoother mids and even airier high frequencies. Make to sure to have a good amp paired with them to take full advantage. Most amps and receivers will run them just fine but they become more rewarding with the right pairing. The design is stunning so they look as good as they sound. So much tech borrowed from the higher end 805d4s at a fraction of the cost. I’ve used with them movies, games, vinyl and streaming so far and am truly impressed.

Mind blown!
I’ve wanted a pair if these for a while now. I’ll start by saying they’re brilliantly made and so it the sound. Very bright,rich and fullish. Recommend a powered sub or by the towers and add more power to push them. True audio files will not agree with this. But I am using the Sonos amp and Sub and my lawd pure listening pleasure
