Why This Bundle is "The Gold Standard":
- 360° Tweeter-on-Top: This is the only configuration where every speaker uses the decoupled solid-body tweeter housing. This results in an imaging precision that is 75% higher than standard box-mounted tweeters.
- The HTM71 Advantage: Unlike smaller centers, the HTM71 S3 is a true 3-way speaker. It matches the scale of the 703 towers perfectly, ensuring the center of the screen never sounds "small."
- Acoustic Symmetry: Because the 705 S3 and 703 S3 share similar driver sizes and the exact same tweeter tech, the "timbre matching" is nearly 98% perfect.
Total Bundle Weight:
(2 × 28.8) + (2 × 9.6) + 17.5 = 94.3 kg (Approx 208 lbs).
Top Reviews:
"The move to the HTM71 S3 center changes everything; it anchors the front stage with a level of authority usually reserved for the 800 Series." "With 705 S3s in the rear, the surround effects are so detailed they become holographic."
Amplification Warning:
This is a heavy-duty bundle. To ensure the 703s and the massive HTM71 center don't clip during action scenes, a high-end AV Receiver or a separate power amp is highly recommended. Running this on a budget receiver would waste about 40% of its potential dynamic range.
