Performance Features of the Tribe Tower Thunderbird

This remarkable speaker is an innovation in every sense, showcasing superlative clarity, exceptional staging, and incredible spatial capabilities. It's an easy speaker to drive, providing accurately defined space between instruments and voices. The combination of unheard phase coherency truly makes it “A True Totem Acoustic Original!”.

The Tribe Tower Thunderbird features a brand-new 6” Torrent mid-bass driver, a result of over three years of research and development, designed specifically for its cabinet architecture. This driver boasts a new multi-layer voice coil, stronger magnets, and a geometry that produces lifelike bass down to below 28Hz, while being fully capable of music reproduction up to 7KHz — all in a dual-driver crossoverless configuration. The integration of this cutting-edge 6” Torrent driver with a proprietary 1.3” tweeter brings the Tribe Tower Thunderbird to life.

The Significance of the Thunderbird

The term Thunderbird refers to a mythological spirit bird, deeply embedded in the sacred beliefs of many North American indigenous cultures. They are seen as supernatural beings representing power, strength, and courage, often believed to create thunder by flapping their wings and lightning by flashing their eyes. Thunderbirds symbolize a profound connection to nature, maintaining order between the realms of the living and the spiritual. Archaeological sites dating back thousands of years have revealed depictions of Thunderbirds, showcasing their long-standing significance.

Insights from Vince Bruzzese

Vince Bruzzese notes, “The Tribe Tower Thunderbird will physically blend into any environment as its performance is not heavily dependent on placement, allowing for easy room integration. The height and width of its image can rival that of the Element Metal V2, and it can perform a disappearing act like both the Element Fire V2 and Metal V2. It can be viewed as a mini Metal V2 with a relaxed, highly articulate, and immersive vocal presentation. Sonically, it will pair perfectly with the NEW Tribe On-Wall. Ultimately, the Thunderbird offers an amazing harmonic decay of musical notes in a superbly lifelike and natural way.”
