The Timberwolf Series
Overview

Timberwolves are slimmer small to tall 2-way or 3-way double woofer floorstanding speakers. Bass extension is very good, especially for the larger double eight transmission line models. The smaller Timberwolves with the double kevlar or carbon fibre cone drivers have real eye opening performance for their small size. This series has great front-on dynamic sonic impact, and good power handling. Some of these models have extremely high quality high end drivers (used in some other brand speakers upwards of $10,000).

Many customers rate the Timberwolves very highly, and not without reason, because constant research and development over many years has produced speakers for true, realistic listening pleasure that have many unique design innovations exclusive to our models.

Timberwolf 8893SRMTL

Price: $2795/pr (or $2195 kit less cabinet)
Finish: Satin/gloss American Oak veneer (can be stained Jarrah, Maple, Walnut, Rosewood or charcoal black)
Cabinet: 1220h x 300w x 420d transmission line cabinet
Power Handling: 150 wrms
Nominal Impedance: 4 ohms
Frequency Response: 27 -- 50,000 hertz +/-2db with gradual roll-off giving usable response to low 20s
Sensitivity: 92.5db 1w/1m
Drivers: 2 x 234mm high end papyrus cone SB Acoustics bass drivers with ultra free moving piston action; 171mm high end papyrus cone SB Acoustics midrange with ultra flat response; Superb double length ribbon tweeter capable of response down to 1750hz.
Comments: The 8883PRTL is a very good speaker and is used professionally by a highly regarded nationwide CD reviewer, but this is a further refinement of the design using the SB Acoustics range of drivers and the double length ribbon. The large ribbon tweeter extends the superb accuracy and detail of a ribbon down to 1750hz, the midrange driver extends down from that point to 400hz. Huge sound stage, efficient, clean and accurate, these large ribbon Timberwolves are comparable and more natural sounding than other well known brands priced in the teens.

A little more powerful Peerless HDS version is available for $2495, and also a much more powerful 400wrms Peerless SLS version with the Cinema ribbon for $2995.

Timberwolf 2103TAX

Price: $1395/pr (or $895 kit less cabinet)
Finish: Satin/gloss American Oak veneer (can be stained Jarrah, Maple, Walnut, Rosewood or charcoal black)

The two 10 inch drivers will move a lot of air, and these Timberwolves can be used as the main speakers in a large home theatre system or as a high end entertainment speaker, or in a system without a subwoofer.

Double length ribbon version extra $400 and high end SB Acoustics midrange extra $150.

A dual tweeter, higher powered midrange version is available which raises power handling to 300 wrms (for an extra $250).
