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.
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 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 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.
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.
This model is available in Gloss Black, Mocha and Satin White.
Each model includes magnetic speaker grills.
How does this center channel compare with the previous model HTM71 S2? I notice the bass cones are smaller in this model. Thank you.
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.
Will this center channel work with B&W in-wall and ceiling speakers or will it over power them?
The 700 series center channel speaker blends well with our in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. Upgrading the center channel is always a good idea and will significantly enhance most surround sound systems.
Is the HTM71 S3 voice matched with the 705 S2 bookshelves?
Hello, They are different series and the S3 will be upgraded slightly from the S2 version of the center channel but these speakers will mesh together very well and you will have a good experience with them together.
Does this speaker have a tweeter on top?
Yes, this speaker features a tweeter-on-top enclosure.
What is the maximum frequency response of this speaker?
The maximum frequency response of this speaker is 33 kilohertz.
