Description

Key Features

Studio Accuracy, Home Comfort

The Argon3S brings Amphion’s professional monitoring technology into your living room. It offers the same truth-to-the-source clarity trusted by recording engineers worldwide—now refined for pure listening enjoyment at home.

Uniformly Directive Diffusion WaveGuide™

Amphion’s proprietary WaveGuide™ ensures the tweeter and woofer act as a single coherent source. The result is phase-aligned, time-coherent sound with wide, even dispersion that maintains perfect imaging in virtually any room.

The Beauty of Simplicity

For over 25 years, Amphion has pushed acoustic design so its products remain electrically simple. A short, pure signal path and seamless driver integration yield maximum resolution, transparency, and consistent performance in every setting.

Unrivaled Midrange Clarity

Voices and acoustic instruments emerge with startling realism and warmth. You’ll rediscover familiar recordings—hearing subtle details you never knew were there.

Room-Wide Sweet Spot

Thanks to controlled dispersion, everyone shares the same balanced, engaging sound—not just the listener in the center seat.

Low Volume, High Intensity

Argon 3S retains its liveliness and tonal accuracy even at modest playback levels—perfect for relaxed evening listening without sacrificing excitement.

Wide Dispersion Soundstage

“This wide dispersion sound is a function of both the drive units and the narrowness of the front baffle relative to the width of the tweeter horn.
These unique properties are rarely found in combination — and certainly not throughout an entire range — suggesting amphion® really knows what it’s doing.”

What They’re Saying

“It’s as if they are living, breathing entities, leading me by the hand into a realm of sonic bliss. I find that listening to these Amphion Argon3S has become somewhat addictive, much to the detriment of my wife and the other work I need to get done! All in all, the Amphion Argon3S is a well-thought-out piece of speaker engineering. Very highly recommended.”
— John Richardson, Part-Time Audiophile, Feb 2019

“…what stood out in the Argon3S were uncommon clarity, high linearity, very precise sorting and scaling of the virtual stage, and an advanced degree in morphing from one album to the next.”
— Srajan Ebaen, 6moons, Mar 2019

“What the Argon3S gives you is tight, tuneful, convincing, and—more importantly—properly focused bass that securely underpins the music and propels it along, not woody grumblings that rattle the rafters but don’t seem to belong to anybody in the band.… Don’t dismiss the Amphion Argon 3S, and don’t assume it can’t make sense in a high-end system. It has reminded me that enough of all the important things is actually plenty.”
— Hi-Fi+, 2021 • Stand-Mount Loudspeaker of the Year (< $4,000 pair)

“It’s a familiar Amphion trait—they don’t impress by being impressive; they just let the music speak for itself.”
— Hi-Fi+ Award Winner, 2021
