705 S3 Signature offers performance upgrades over existing 705 S3 models. New luxury finishes include Midnight Blue Metallic or Datuk Gloss wood veneer with trimmed gold detailing. 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.
- Audio Upgrades Include: Introduction of new, more open tweeter grille mesh, as developed for 800 Series Signature loudspeakers, new Mundorf EVO Silver Gold Oil capacitor, Bevenbi MPAZ-E polypropylene capacitors, air-core inductors, upgraded poles with larger venting and lower inductance, brass speaker terminal posts for cleaner signal path, and optimized bypass capacitors.
- Carbon Dome Tweeter: Carbon Dome tweeters deliver a dramatic improvement over 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.
- Optional Speaker Stand: The FS-700 S3 is the perfect match.
- Magnetic Grills: Each model includes magnetic speaker grills.
- Step up from 705 S3: 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.
