What else to know about the 805S?

The 805S is a compact stand-mount 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 minimized with our novel ‘Balanced Drive’. 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. It’s 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.
