Athena S3 Review

By
October 23rd, 2003


Summary

The S3 speaker is a taller 3-way design that can be used as front speakers, or rear channel speakers in a surround system. This speaker is larger than the other 2 models, but can easily be placed on stands, or even in a bookcase.

The S3 plays even louder than the S2 and has more bass output due to the 8 inch woofer. The S3 speaker can be integrated with either the P2, or P3 Active Subwoofers, to create a powered tower speaker.

Using the SCT(TM) system, simply connect the two speakers together, and you have a powered hybrid loudspeaker with incredible bass output, stunning looks, and state of the art sound!
