The 602S3 is a terrific under-apreciated speaker for the money - I'd take it over the 705 - the latter has a smoother tweeter less box resonance and a more refined speaker --- but it's incredibly boring to listen to because it's atrocious dynamically and lacks bass.

I'm an Audio Note homer but look for a dealer and see if one is near you - I think it will surprise you - At $550.00 directly against the 705 the AX Two was easily better espeically on vocals and piano - very few speakers get that bang on - At $550 they are hand built in Denmark and use very good Vifa drivers 90db sensitive. They are also Far far smaller than the 602

You can go to their distributors page http://www.audionote.co.uk/

The 602 is a good choice mind you and much easier to find etc...but the AX two is worth a try.
