The Sidewinder Series

The Sidewinders are slimmer small to tall 3-way floorstanding speakers that have side firing woofers in a mirror image setup, with the normal upper bass, mid and tweeter firing forward. This is 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 a beautiful timber veneer and you have exceptional speakers of elegant proportions. Good for small to medium rooms where you do not have room for a subwoofer.
