SVS is adding the STS-01 towers to their current S-Series line-up (SBS-01 and SCS-01). The company previously only carried bookshelves for their S-Series line-up. The STS-01 towers gives SVS S-Series owners to have a full system, so to speak. Many home theater enthusiasts like having tower speakers for as their mains or front left/right speakers. The STS-01 towers are timbre-matched to both the SCS-01 and SBS-01, so previous owners of the S-Series will be able to move their front left/right speakers to surround duty, should they ever decide to purchase the STS-01 towers.

Each STS-01 tower has the following driver configuration: quad soft-dome 6-inch poly-cone woofers and a ClearSilk F2, ferrofluid-cooled tweeter enclosed in a 7-inch wide cabinet.

STS-01 specifications:

• Mirror-imaged, dedicated Right/Left configuration
