Gordon, London

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Design, no wires required for the full room sound, also completely replaces any Hi Fi requirements
Bad points:: This is not a bad point but something to remember. I live in a 1st floor flat and I am now trying to find a form of sound insulation to protect the flat downstairs from the base speaker underneath the sub woofer
