'Best-ever' THX speaker system launched
Teufel, Europe's leading direct speaker seller, hits the UK
Teufel, Germany's premier online speaker-system retailer, debuted its speaker kit in the UK market for the first time today in spectacular fashion.
The cream of the crop was a THX-certified Teufel System 9 THX Ultra 2.
Suitable for the audio consumer that has an air-craft hanger-sized living room (up to 100sqm), the system comprises three M 950 FCR THX Ultra 2 satellite speakers, two M 950 D THX Ultra 2 dipole speakers, and a whopping great fridge-sized M 9500 SW THX Ultra 2 subwoofer.
TechRadar was lucky enough to get a demonstration of the kits and it's easy to hear why George Lucas set up THX all those years ago.
For ear-bleeding effect, the sub-woofer packs in two 300mm bass drivers and a 1200 watt power amplifier.
The best
Teufel is calling this system "the best THX speaker system of all time" and, at its price, it's affordable too.
