Perfect for smaller spaces, the 704 S3 speakers boast a sleek profile that complements any room's décor without compromising on performance. Their advanced technology delivers rich, detailed audio, ensuring an immersive listening experience.

Immerse yourself in high-fidelity sound:

• Decoupled Carbon Dome tweeters: Featuring a breakthrough design that pushes the breakup threshold to 47kHz, these tweeters deliver unparalleled imaging accuracy and detail for crisp highs.
• Continuum cone midrange driver: Crafted with a unique composite construction, this driver eliminates abrupt transitions in sound behavior, resulting in an open, neutral sound that faithfully reproduces vocals and instruments with precision and transparency.
• Aerofoil bass cones: Powered by advanced computer modeling, these cones feature variable thickness for optimal stiffness and rigidity, delivering deep, impactful bass for a truly powerful listening experience.

The 704 S3 speakers utilize a three-way design:

• This design separates the audio signal into three distinct frequency ranges (highs, mids, and lows) and assigns each range to a dedicated driver. This ensures clear and accurate sound reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum, minimizing interference for an exceptionally clean listening experience.

Advanced technologies elevate the audio performance of the 704 S3 speakers:

• Computer-modeled Aerofoil bass cones: These cones are meticulously designed to deliver optimal performance, ensuring deep and accurate bass reproduction.
