Experience the detail
The top-performing stand-mount speaker in the range, the 705 S2 features studio-inspired technologies, for immaculate sound quality.
A house for high frequencies
Milled from a solid block of aluminum, the solid body tweeter housing design creates an acoustically optimized housing for the tweeter – one that’s exceptionally inert and resistant to resonances.
Sharper detail
Carbon Dome tweeters are purpose-built for the 700 Series. Delivering a dramatic improvement on the aluminum double-dome tweeter, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail.
Truly amazing sound
Voice and instruments are delivered with purity and precision, thanks to the smooth, accurate Continuum™ cone midrange driver.
