Overview

The Sidewinders are slimmer small to tall 3-way floorstanding speakers that have side firing subwoofers in a mirror image setup, with the normal woofer/mid and tweeter firing forward. This is be achieved by having a low crossover point between the lower and upper bass drivers. Because low bass is omni-directional, the larger subwoofer can be mounted sideways, thus allowing for the construction of a slimmer box despite the bass capability achieved. Add the similarly refined 3-way crossover network of the Summoner series and real timbers and you have exceptional speakers of elegant proportions.
