Q200c

Reproducing most of the soundtrack narrative, the centre speaker is by far the most important in any home theatre surround sound system, and the Q200c is engineered accordingly. With a new generation 130mm (5.25in.) Uni-Q driver array, flanked by a low distortion bass unit and an ABR of the same size, they combine raw power with the subtlety to convey moments of great delicacy.What you notice is how convincingly the larger new metal dome tweeter captures the emotional range of the human voice mood and character shine through with real clarity.

Q800ds

Your involvement in the action is noticeably enhanced by the addition of the Q800ds dipole to convey the left and right rear channels. With the two 130mm (5.25in.) Uni-Q arrays on each speaker playing out of phase, ambient 3D effects are completely diffused throughout the listening area to create an uncanny illusion of actually being there, whether thats deep in the rainforest, in a concert arena or driving along a gritty urban back street.
