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.
