Firesprites are smaller bookshelf speakers suitable for use as surround/rear or stereo speakers, or all round a complete five, six or seven speaker home theatre system in a small/medium room. Add one of our subwoofers and you will have a very dynamic system far superior to the mass produced all-in-one mini-tinny speaker packages you see in chain stores. The Firesprite is smaller and less powerful than the Woodfox, but has all the clarity and Listening satisfaction. Great for intimate rooms as a stereo speaker, but needs a subwoofer when used as a high end satellite in large rooms.
As with all our models, drivers can be matched to the rest of the drivers in your ordered system. All these Firesprites have good bass output for a smaller bookshelf, meaning that the subwoofer does not have to take over above 60 -- 80 hertz, and can stay well within the omni-directional range of frequencies -- and therefore not draw attention away from the real source of action in the sound sphere of a movie or sound stage of a 5.1 or 2.1 stereo system.

Comments: this is the smallest version of the Firespite series for people who have space restrictions without sacrificing any sound quality. A more compact cabinet even more suitable for easy wall mounting as surround
speakers in a home theatre system. A size that still combines well with subwoofers without loosing lower midrange to become "thin" sounding (as some commercial small satelites do).
Here are some suggestions for home theatre setups taken from our range of models that would work well as a combination, keeping in mind that there are many other combinations possible depending on your circumstances. Feel free to call if you have any particular combinations in mind (model codes may vary slightly).
