Q Acoustics have developed a well-earned reputation for developing hugely enjoyable speakers and systems that don't break the bank. The Q7000 is no exception as it delivers astonishingly good performance for the money.

The system features five matching satellite speakers with cast aluminium cabinets and smart glossy finishes. Despite their discreet proportions, each satellite packs in two 75mm bass/mid range woofers and a 25mm ring radiator tweeter. Each also has an included tabletop stand which, when swivelled, also acts as a wall mount.

The unique slim but powerful subwoofer features an integrated 250 watt amplifier, and an internal 250mm (10") driver which fires horizontally against a sounding board. This ingenious design has the effect of dispersing low frequency sounds evenly into the room. The sub can be used free-standing or unobtrusively wall mounted, where it stands out no more than a radiator.

Equally impressive with movies and music, if you want a stylish home cinema system but don't want to compromise on sound quality, the Q7000 is a no brainer.
