805S


When there is not enough space for a floor-standing speaker, the stand- or bookshelf-mount 805S gives 800 Series sound quality in a compact system.

Even if you have a relatively small listening room, there's no reason why you should forgo superb sound quality. The 805S is a compact 2-way system that gives a surprisingly full sound for its size and will not intrude into the room.

Here, woven Kevlar® is the cone material of choice for the role of combined bass and midrange driver. Distortion levels are minimised with our 'Balanced Drive' system. First introduced in the Signature 805, Balanced Drive involves the addition of copper and aluminium components to the magnet system to reduce variations in voice coil inductance as the coil moves in the magnetic field. This is a distortion-producing mechanism that particularly affects bass/midrange drivers and can impair clarity if not attended to.

A separate stand is available that visually matches the style of the 805S and supports it firmly at the correct listening height.
