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.

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

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.

Comments: This is a very unique, sensitive and
powerful high end speaker. The large professional cinema ribbon
midrange/tweeter can extend the superb accuracy and detail of a ribbon
down far enough to dispense with a separate midrange driver all
together. Very efficient, powerful, clean, accurate and unique,
these large ribbon Timberwolves are in a class of their own.

Comments: fantastic sound, power and price for such a

many customers as one of the better speakers made in Australia, even though it is half the cost.
Absolutely faithful to the recording. Like all the
Timberwolves, they draw you into the experience of the recording, and
it is easy to forget there are speakers there at all.

the highly regarded 8883PRTL above. Has the advantage of higher
impedance for many of the newer home theatre amps that do not accept
speakers lower than 6 ohm impedance.

radiator tweeter with high efficiency.
Comments: This is a high powered Timberwolf using more
economical drivers that can satisfy anyone with a lust for high power,
while not sacrificing clarity. 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).

All our SB Acoustics drivers have exceptional quality extended bass in our unique designs, and this is no different. Add to that a balanced, smooth and natural midrange, topped off with the sublime, open treble of a true high end matched pair of ribbon tweeters, and you have the sort of sound that brings tears to the eyes. Highly recommended if you have a 4 ohm capable system.

Comments: This is our smallest Timberwolf but has a
surprisingly big sound stage and powerful sound. It uses the superb
clarity, efficiency and fast response of the kevlar
cone woofer/mid married with one of our best dome tweeters. This
speaker has a very natural and even response. A flat panel version of
this speaker is in the Flat Panel series.
