The problem with many of today's hi-tech Home Cinema speaker packages is that they are designed by a committee, then tuned by computers. They look wonderful, but actually sound rather disappointing. If they were a meal, these systems would be a microwave cottage pie - OK, but not exactly what you'd call inspiring.

If that's the case, then MJ's Xenos represent a full-on Sunday Roast! They have the sort of pace and dynamic attack that the 'pretty' systems can only dream of. They are powerful and engaging, creating a rich tapestry of sound, that makes other speaker systems sound bland and 2-dimensional. The reason for this is that the Xenos have (shock, horror) been designed and fine-tuned by a single human being. And not just any human being, but John Jefferis, who has a wealth of audio experience. Consequently, the Xenos boast sophisticated full-range drivers and cabinet walls that are no less than 15mm thick, with a stunning five-coat, gloss black finish. Every Xeno system comes with MJ's award-winning, Pro 50 MkII sub (also finished in glorious gloss black) plus there are superb optional floorstands and wall brackets, too. We are so keen on the Xenos, that we have just negotiated a bulk-purchase from MJ, allowing us to sell these wonderful speakers at £250 off their original RRP. Sample a full English Roast and you'll never put up with microwave food again!
