The Classic C40 Speakers arrive in a large colourful box with an image of the product on the front, with specifications listed below.
Inside, the speakers are shipped inside protective covers which are surrounded by durable polystyrene blocks. Surprisingly there is no literature at all in the box (not even a single page of information), just a simple audio cable to connect to a computer.
The satellite speakers are created from wood materials, with a piano black style plastic front panel. This lends the design a ‘high tech' style appearance, but it is sadly a finger print magnet. There is also a two pronged metal section which protrudes from the speaker and rests in front of the main cone.
The speakers don't feel very substantial, they weigh very little and measure 112 mm (W) x 135 mm (D) x 180 mm (H).
This is an unusual looking design and when viewed from the side we can see the metal cone shaped bracket ‘spikes' into the area in front of the driver.
KWorld are calling this the ‘unique physical equaliser design', but there is very little information regarding their theory online, and as the box has no literature at all, we are left with a single image. According to this diagram on their website, it appears that the floating metal cone helps to separate the sound field, rather than simply allowing it to transmit directly forwards. For such a small speaker design it might help to create a larger sound stage.
I spent more for dinner last night. as you say hard to pick holes in them, even though they aren’t perfect.
£35 with a sub? is that a joke?
Never heard of this make and their website is hideous, but I trust your reviews. Seems like a bargain imo
My guess the metal cone is to directionally disperse the high-frequency sound, which tends to propagate in a single direction. This is as opposed to the lower end of the spectrum, which tends to be pretty much omni-directional. This would probably mean that you would get a better balance of high and low if your listening position is “off-axis”.
They look weird, but they seem to work. For people with very little money and those wanting something very bass heavy,. seem a good enough purchase
