A two-way floor-stander, the saxo 40’s stated aim is: big sound without big speakers”. The result is by far the most diminutive tower speaker that’s ever graced our listening room.
System Audio saxo 40

Adding to its discreet charms is a clean, unobtrusive and, dare we say it, Scandinavian aesthetic. The saxo 40 is available in a choice of white or black satin finishes given multiple polishes for a nice sheen), with all-black driver materials/fixings and no branding on the cabinets. It features a pair of 140mm treated paper mid/bass drivers, working together across the same frequency range and with output bolstered by a rear-facing bass-reflex port. A 4th-order crossover ties them to the T25DXT Ti tweeter, a 25mm soft dome design framed by a patented DXT acoustic lens/waveguide to improve high-frequency directivity.
