The world of sub-£1000 Home Cinema
speaker packages is dominated by small sub / sat combos.
My theory is that this in entirely due to the fact that the
world in general is dominated by selfish women, who seem to
think that it's perfectly OK to have a great big stupid plant
in the middle of the living room, but not a big speaker (not
that I bear a grudge, you understand). I mean, if we were
really against having something big and ugly in the lounge,
then we wouldn't have her mother to stay would we?
For those who aren't 'under the thumb',
here's a real breath of fresh air - this superb Home
Cinema package boasts 'proper' sized speakers, that kick most
sub / sat combos into touch. Acoustic
Energy have turbocharged their highly successful
Evo package and come up with something that is bang on the
money. They've opted for new drivers, complete with super-powerful
neodymium magnets (hence the speakers being called
'Neo') plus a brand new tweeter. On top of that, they have
introduced two exciting new finishes, a stunning light oak
and a rather nice 'chocolate' walnut. The Neos
sound faster and more engaging than the outgoing Evos, and
look much more up-to-date too. If you can get
them past 'the management', these speakers are highly
recommended. If you can't, then you can always do what one
of my friends once did and pop a laxative pill into your Mother-in-law's
tea......nearly as entertaining!
